House Bill 1240, if passed, would prohibit the manufacture, import, distribution, sale, and attempted sale of assault weapons statewide.
Similar statehouse bills have failed in the past, which is why Hurst wants to pass a local resolution that outlines Lynnwood’s support for banning assault weapons.His proposed resolution is just that — a statement — as it doesn’t carry any legal standing.Constituent, Robin, agrees. “Do it! Don’t wait! You should’ve done it yesterday, last week, last year. There’s no need for them.”
Hurst’s proposal is already drawing candid criticism from one fellow council member. At a council work session, Councilmember Patrick Decker deemed the gesture unconstitutional. “It’s an urban centric law that fails to contemplate the different needs of Washington state residents,” says Decker. “And is another example of the woke extreme leftist agenda from Olympia.”As for the resolution, Hurst plans to bring it forward at Monday’s city council meeting.
