WaTimes: The city of Republic in Washington state is mulling legislation that would shield residents from state gun control laws that were approved by voters last week.
Republic Mayor Elbert Koontz said the Republic City Council will begin discussing the idea of becoming a “sanctuary city” to protect residents against Initiative 1639, which goes into effect Jan. 1, The Spokesman-Review reported.
The sweeping gun-control measure includes raising the age limit for buying semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21 and requiring buyers of those weapons to pass an enhanced background check, show proof of firearms-training and complete a 10-day waiting period before obtaining the weapon.
The National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit Thursday against the state of Washington and Attorney General Bob Ferguson, saying the measure violates both the Washington state and U.S. constitutions.
The idea of protecting the city of Republic from such measures has gained widespread support in the city, Mr. Koontz told The Spokesman-Review. more here
Do it! Dooooooo it! Jab your thumb in their eye, Mayor Koontz!
What’s good for the goose . . .
…For those of you who think the West Coast is lost to liberalism, READ THE LINKED ARTICLE. Just WOW, there ARE honorable patriots in those Democrat dens STILL, willing to fight our DOMESTIC enemies on their own TURF…
“I’ve taken 3 public oaths, one in the US Army and Two as a police officer. All of them included upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States of America,” Chief Culp wrote. “The second amendment says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. As long as I am Chief of Police, no Republic Police Officer will infringe on a citizens right to keep and Bear Arms, PERIOD!”

..God bless and protect you, Chief, and your Mayor too, and ALL the good people or Republic that you are GENUINELY trying to protect …
Look forward to the libturds explaining why sanctuary cities are good in one aspect but not another.
We had a similar ordinance on our local ballot here in Jackson County, Oregon. It was defeated 66% to 43%, thanks to an influx of dope growers from California in recent years. Idaho is starting to look real good.
Tony R, you have bigger problems than Kalifornians coming into your state if your vote totals 109%. 🙂
Don’t get me wrong; I totally agree.
BUT since the socialists decided
that only laws they liked need be obeyed we now have the goosey-gander
response from rational Americans.
Unless we get the adults to stop
the vodka and pablum party this
is how the end begins.
If the libtards idea of why there are mass shootings were correct shouldn’t most mass shootings be in gun stores?
“Look forward to the libturds explaining why sanctuary cities are good in one aspect but not another.”
…You know how they would answer you, @Different Tim…
…”BECAUSE I SAY SO! AND YOU’RE A RACIST NAZI!”
@ Mojo56. Right you are. Should read 56% to 44%. Probably too much second hand dope smoke.
Republic’s efforts will never stand in the Soviet State of Washington.
This kind of defiance brings tear of pride to my eye.
May the Lord, and whatever powers there are, be with them.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
