In a mistake that probably wasn’t a mistake, a Washington state bill sponsored by liberal Democrats contained a little-noticed provision that would have called for the police to have the right to search private citizens’ home once per year if they own certain types of guns. According to Senate Bill 5737:

In order to continue to possess an assault weapon that was legally possessed on the effective date of this section, the person possessing shall ... safely and securely store the assault weapon. The sheriff of the county may, no more than once per year, conduct an inspection to ensure compliance with this subsection.

In other words, kiss the Fourth Amendment goodbye. Liberal lawmakers behind the bill claim they have no knowledge of the provision – which, of course, begs the question as to how the provision got into the bill in the first place. “I have to admit it shouldn’t be in there,” said Sen. Ed Murray (D-Seattle). “I made a mistake,” said Sen. Adam Kline (D-Seattle). “I frankly should have vetted this more closely.”

This was likely no mistake. It’s hard to believe that a bill could advance this far without anyone reading it for such an obvious violation of Constitutional principles. But in an age of ever-bigger government and ever-smaller rights, anything is possible.

This is just like Obamacare all over again. The bill was only 8 pages long and these lying sacks of shit would have us believe not ONE PERSON read the entire bill.

That same provision is in one of the Bills currently in the Hawaii legislature.  I forget which one but I believe it says something about you have to prove to the police once a year that firearms are safely stored.  I am thinknig it relates to someone in your household that is not mentally alright.  You must prove that they do not have access to the firearms. Anyone remember offhand which bill?  I am too lazy to look  ;)
It is what it is.

Reminds me of tactical flanking. We have the federal government attacking from the front and all the liberal states flanking from all sides, trying to slip in all kinds of BS bills at the state level, with the hope that most won't even know or oppose them, or just won't have the numbers to stop them. They are seizing the moment and striking while the iron is hot. Hawaii is using the same tactic with all the BS bills they are attempted to push though.

Feeding frenzy.
I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.
