The other day, there was a story going around about a museum IN Washington State that, because of new gun laws going into effect in the state on December 4th, they were going to have to return guns of a World war II presentation because even the transfer of guns to museum were subject to a background check and a $40 fee. So the Lynden Pioneer Museum, in Lynden made preparations to close the display, but a local gun shop stepped up to help, according to Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a financial hardship for them to pay for the fees to register the guns,\u201d said Melissa Denny, owner of Pistol Annie\u2019s Jewelry and Pawn in nearby Bonney Lake, told FoxNews.com. \u201cSo we decided to step up and help. It\u2019s normally a $40 fee for each weapon. We just waived it for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like to champion for the underdog because we are one of them,\u201d added Denny, who opened up her shop two years ago.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Folks say that the law was never intended to affect museums, but the problems is that law abiding gun owners are not going to take a chance that laws don’t affect them, that’s why they’re law abiding citizens. <\/p>\n

\u201c[The law] is about making sure people buying guns go through a background check to ensure they’re not convicted felons, domestic abusers, or the seriously mentally ill,\u201d Geoff Potter, spokesperson for Washington Alliance for Gun responsibility, a sponsor of the initiative, told FoxNews.com. \u201cOur view is this situation has nothing to do with 594 and the museum should feel confident in continuing to display the exhibit as scheduled without issue. \u201c<\/p>\n

State law enforcement officials told FoxNews.com that they were never planning to go after museums to enforce the new law.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitiative 594 is a very new situation due to take effect in December,\u201d Sgt. Will Knudson, spokesman for the Washington State Patrol, said in a statement to FoxNews.com. \u201cThe Washington State Patrol has no intent on proactively entering museums to determine if the display of a museum is in compliance.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, then write your laws so that there is no confusion instead of ramming incoherent garble through your legislatures so that Americans who want to comply with the laws have to make guesses as to your intent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
