    | For more than two decades, some Washington officials have pushed for laws intended to reduce gun deaths by making firearms more secure at home.
 
 Those efforts — from an unsuccessful ballot initiative in 1997, to legislation sponsored year after year at the state Legislature — never came anywhere near to becoming law.
 
 But 2018 has become a consequential year for so-called safe-storage laws.

    | Why is this malicious nonsense so prevalent when D.C. v. Heller ruled (in the holding, not in dicta) that mandating that firearms in the home be rendered inoperative facially violates the 2A core right of self-defense, and is thus unconstitutional? 
 IT IS PRECEDENT, GUDDAMMIT!!!
 
 It is THE LAW.

                      | To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |  |  |
