Daily Email...GOTTA DO IT!

Here's my latest stab at letters to my reps. I have written more in the last few weeks than I have in the previous several years, but as the OP said, it should be more often.

=====

The Honorable ________
State of Washington
__ Legislative District

Dear __________,

I am writing today regarding HB 1588. I am requesting that you vote 'AGAINST' it.

HB 1588 will not limit criminal access to guns. Current law already prohibits delivery of a firearm to anybody they have reasonable cause to believe are ineligible to possess them. Criminals break the law anyway, and can sell without paperwork, completely circumventing the law. Even the current background check system is flawed, because those who do not pass the check are usually not investigated further, and the database often does not contain current information.

There is no recent shooting that this law would have prevented the perpetrator from obtaining a gun - including the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, and the most recent by former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner.

Thank you for your service, and your consideration.

Respectfully,
