William Kirk fires back against House Bill 1163

 A bill that would require prospective gun buyers to first need a five-year permit from the Washington State Patrol (WSP) passed the Senate Law & Justice Committee Thursday.

The bill, House Bill 1163, would require applicants to complete a certified firearms safety training program within the past five years in order to get the permit, alongside the existing required background checks. The bill has exclusions for police officers and active military servicemembers. 

The bill passed on a party-line vote with zero Republican support. According to The Washington State Standard, one Republican representative claimed this "may be the worst bad bill we’ve seen so far this session."
