No coward soul is mine,
No tremblr is the world's storm-troubled sphere:
I see Heaven's glorious shine,
And Faith shines equal,
Arming me from Fear.

BREAKING: Governor Jay Inslee of Washington just signed a bill that will ban assault weapons sales in the state. The law, which passed the House 56-42 last week, also bans the distribution and manufacturing of these weapons.
There are over 4 dozen firearms on the list of banned guns. The ban also covers semiautomatic rifles that are fewer than 30 inches long. Additionally specific hand grips and thumbhole stocks are banned.
I believe this is a good first step, but a national ban in my opinion would work much better at deterring the use of these weapons.
Here is a rogues gallery of some of the BIGGEST recipients of NRA Blood Money.
