To Purchase A Gun in WA State You Must Waive Your Medical Privacy Forever

The Washington state Supreme Court has ruled that the proposed gun-regulations measure, Initiative 1639, will appear on November’s election ballot.

The ruling comes after a Thurston County judge earlier this month blocked the proposed initiative after Alan Gottlieb of the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation and the National Rifle Association challenged the legality of the campaign’s signature-gathering petitions.

The measure would make several changes to the law. Aside from raising the purchase age to 21 for semi-automatic rifle purchases, it would mandate training, enhanced background checks and waiting periods in order to obtain them... IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR HEALTHCARE PRIVACY FOREVER, ALLOWING FOR ANNUAL CHECKS OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS.

Sec. 15 (a) requires the state to: "Verify, on an annual or more frequent basis, that persons who acquired pistols or semiautomatic assault rifles pursuant to this chapter remain eligible to possess a firearm under state and federal law..."



--
I-1639 is a poorly written initiative that will destroy the medical privacy rights of individuals, cause gun owners to face misdemeanor or felony charges if someone prohibited from possessing a weapon accessed their firearm, and allow government intrusion into the privacy of individual homes without warrant.

 

There is the proposed law and there is what people signed to get the initiative on the November ballot: the two documents are-not-the-same. Here is the initiative people signed. The red ink indicates where the language has been altered, ignored or changed. This is-not-the-full-text of the measure.

 

In other words what the new law will say (if passed) and what people were shown when asked to sign to put I-1639 on the ballot are two different things!
