The Seattle Times reports:

We wrote in late July about comments made by a National Rifle Association (NRA) lobbyist who compared the proposed background checks initiative to the beginning of Nazi oppression of Jews before World War II.

Neither the lobbyist, Brian Judy, nor the NRA have commented on that episode.

Now, four Democrat legislators have sent a letter to the NRA demanding that the organization dissociate itself from the remarks.

“We are dismayed that both Mr. Judy and the National Rifle Association have chosen to remain silent for four weeks on this subject,” reads the letter, dated Sept. 2. “These views, left unaddressed, have the potential to jeopardize the effectiveness of your representatives in working with many legislators and staff in Olympia.”

The letter is signed by Sen. Jamie Pedersen of Seattle, Rep. Laurie Jinkins of Tacoma, Rep. Reuven Carlyle of Seattle and Rep. Brady Walkinshaw of Seattle. Read a copy of the letter here.
