Seattle Times: Bill that would take guns from domestic abusers goes to Gov. Inslee
The Seattle Times reports
The state Senate on Thursday afternoon approved a bill to force residents to temporarily surrender their firearms while under restraining and protection orders.
The proposal now heads to Gov. Jay Inslee, an enthusiastic supporter.
House Bill 1840‘s unanimous Senate approval belied the difficult path the proposal has traveled since being introduced last year in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
