It鈥檚 d茅j脿 vu all over again. Like last year鈥檚 state legislative session, lawmakers are considering a myriad of gun-related proposals. Nearly 30 anti-gun bills are winding their way through Olympia.

Not surprisingly, some Seattle city leaders are trying again to get Washington state lawmakers to sidestep the state鈥檚 鈥減reemption statute.鈥

This constitutional provision 鈥 upheld twice in the courts 鈥 鈥減uts all authority for firearms in the hands of the state Legislature. Period. The cities all know this,鈥 explains Bellevue-based Dave Workman, communications director for the .

鈥淚t means that what鈥檚 good in Aberdeen is good in Spokane, and from Vancouver to Blaine — the law is equal. Everybody follows the same law,鈥 Workman told Dori Monson Show listeners.

Before the statute, Workman says, 鈥渨e had a checkerboard of confusing gun laws.鈥

He added that citizens should not 鈥渉ave to worry about breaking an ordinance by crossing the invisible city and county lines that run throughout Washington.”

Dori cited Seattle Senior Deputy Mayor Monisha Harrell鈥檚 push for a preemption law as a means of making guns illegal in parks.

鈥淪o the idea now is that it鈥檚 OK for Seattle lefties to have a park full of drug addicts, heroin addicts, and drunks 鈥 but won鈥檛 allow a private citizen to be legally armed?鈥 Workman said. 鈥淭hat just drives them nuts.鈥
