Lawsuit over Seattle's responsible gun storage law thrown out by judge

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A lawsuit filed by the NRA to fight an ordinance requiring gun owners to secure their firearms in a locked container was dismissed by the King County Superior Court on Friday.

The city passed the ordinance in July, and saw a quick challenge by pro-gun advocates in court.

“As we take urgent action to save lives, our courts have sided with Seattle over the NRA,” said Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan in response to the dismissal. “We will continue to work with our partners to stop irresponsible legal challenges to this commonsense, life-saving measure.”

“It seems the NRA jumped the gun in filing their lawsuit against this eminently reasonable legislation meant to protect children and the vulnerable,” said Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes.

The suit was thrown out by Judge Barbara Linde, citing a lack of standing on the part of plaintiffs. Because of that, whether the safe gun storage law violates Washington State law remains undetermined in a court of law.

1. Gunners are not interested in safe gun ownership, no matter what they say.

2. 9 out of 10 gun owners refuse to join the NRA

I'm one of them.
My guns stay locked up, always.

4. First, a lot are free riders, too cheap to pay dues. Second, the majority of

gun owners are ignorant white wing racists. Obviously, some exceptions.

You might lock your gunz up. Do you tote in public?

In any event, the safest gun-fancier still enable unsafe and vile gunners to protect their selfish access to more guns.. And most are fine with what the NRA does as far as protecting access to gunz, even for the most vile racist. Most gunners are glad their access to more guns are being protected by the NRA and GOPers, even if the don’t pay NRA dues or donate to GOP.

3. Up here in Whatcom County (That's Bellingham for the uninitiated)

We are voting on I- 1639.

"This measure would require increased background checks, training, age limitations, and waiting periods for sales or delivery of semi-automatic assault rifles; criminalize noncompliant storage upon unauthorized use; allow fees; and enact other provisions."

The NRA is all over this screaming that it is an attempt to repeal The Second. (Do their hysterics work on sane, rational people ?) If it passes, we can expect them to file suit on it too. But it is polling for passage by a large percentage of voters.
