RCW 9.41.190: One law violating two constitutions in three ways.....

Does anyone in Olympia actually care what the Constitutions they swore to uphold actually say?

 

I strongly believe the psychological checks should enhance effectiveness into predicting the right profile of citizen allowed to be holding a gun in possession. I don`t intend to be too exaggerated, but I see how many cases and files averagely return on a San Francisco criminal defense attorney`s desk due to inappropriate gun possession. Wouldn`t it be better for authorities to prevent these kind of things instead of struggling on making justice when the harm has already been made?

 You could be right.

Tell you what: All constitutionally-protected rights should be limited to those who pass my psychological check, which will accurately predict the right profile of citizen.  I will be the sole decision-maker, and my decision may not be appealed...

Still want to head down that path?  :)
