A federal judge Monday affirmed a set of firearms regulations approved by Washington voters in 2018, ruling against a legal challenge raised by gun-right advocates.
Initiative 1639 raised the legal purchase age of a semi-automatic rifle to 21 and put in place enhanced background checks for their purchase. It also prohibited the sale of such rifles to out-of-state residents.
Voters passed the measure with nearly 60 percent support, but gun-rights advocates have vehemently opposed it. Some sheriffs have said they wouldn’t enforce the law because they believed it was unconstitutional. |

Non sequitur.
If males between the ages of 18 and 45 were considered unorganized militia members at the time of the Founding, then that historical precedent must foreclose any rules that
have 'historically' imposed age restrictions on the right.
The reasoning that because the constitutional protection of the right has historically been ignored such restrictions are therefore constitutional is Red Queen stuff.
I mean, come ON. ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
