Clark County resident Bob Zak says conservatives will ‘fight the fight’ reinstate the right to bear arms without infringement

Excellent article on WA news “gun law restrictions.” The Washington State Constitution, Art. 1, SS 24. “The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall NOT be impaired …” I think most of the Democrats in the state legislature know how to read. I think most everyone knows our US Constitution, 2nd Amendment, “right to bear arms shall NOT be infringed.” So when the supermajority of Democrats in our legislature push something like this new restriction to purchase a gun, either the Democrats feel like “kings” which they are not, do not know how to read, or they do something stupid, knowing that it will be overturned in the courts. 

So why, Democrats are you doing this to “we the people” who you are supposed to serve? By your actions, you have planted a “root of bitterness” in the hearts of “we the people” that will come back on you in the next election. We conservatives in Clark County will “fight the fight” to reinstate the right to bear arms without infringement as our state and federal Constitutions guarantee, in our next session of the legislature unless the courts beat us to it and overturn the unConstitutional law.
