Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses Washington’s last ditch effort to obtain an injunction against our newly enacted assault weapon ban, the matter of Banta v. Ferguson. Today we break down Plaintiff’s response pleadings to the State’s arguments as to why an injunction should not be granted. But more specifically, and important to everyone around the country, are the arguments by plaintiff’s counsel here in relation to the new legal standard announced by some civilian disarmament judges, specifically the conversion of the “Common Use Test” to the “Common Use for Self-defense Test.” Today we learn, through Banta’s counsel, how to effectively shred that argument to pieces. So learn what all of this means to you and arm yourself with education today.

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, does a FANTASTIC JOB of explaining this issue.
IT'S NOT ABOUT SELF DEFENSE AS THEY MEAN SELF DEFENSE IT'S ABOUT WELL ORGANIZED DEFENSE OF A FREE STATE .
THE DEMS KNOW IT WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE HELL BENT ON PREVENTING THAT DEFENSE . 2A WAS NEVER ABOUT WHAT
SPECIES OF WEAPON IS LEGITIMATE IN PREPARING AGAINST TYRANNY . IT IS WHAT SERVES THE PURPOSE OF 2A THE BEST THAT
DEMS WANT REMOVED , THEREBY RENDERING 2A USELESS . MEANWHILE THE GOVERNMENT GROUND TROOPS ( ATF , ETC.)
STILL KEEP THE SAME FULL AUTOS THEY HAVE BANNED FOR US TO POSSESS . THE DEMS MAY AS WELL BE YELLING YES
WE ARE PLANNING TYRANNY . YES WE ARE PLANNING A ONE PARTY TOTALITARIAN STATE . THE MOVE TOWARD CIVILIAN
DISARMAMENT COULDN'T YELL IT LOUDER .
It doesn't matter what they pass. Most people are not going to turn anything in.
Is not dangerous it's the person behind the Guns.. how about starting with people first.. I don't care if you own a gun but people should have some sort of background check before they get that gun. People take medicine that could affect the way people handle a gun.. mental illness a person with a mental illness does not need a gun.. a gun is nothing more than a tool..
God I cant wait until my youngest kid graduates so I can finally move out of this freedom-hating shithole.

They(those apposed to gun ownership) are deterring the fact that the entire constitution was implemented for rights against speculation or subjection from any and all. This was its true purpose.
The Constitution spells it out that guns are to protect us from a tyrannical goverment, therefore all our AR15s even though havnt been used yet are in reserve for our own self defense! Our government is already out of control, i would hate to see them once they have successfully disarmed us!
When is the hearing for this injunction?
You're a great American. This is the best site for learning the nuts n bolts about these matters.
It's not a last stand until it makes it to SCOTUS.
I would argue the findings in Keller are unconstitutional.
What about the part of the right to bear arms against tyranny from within or abroad?
The probability this gun ban will get past today's SCOTUS is slightly less than the probability that the sun will rise in the West and set in the East on Christmas day.
Yea ban guns it’s needed
So what happens when this case is dismissed also?
Another great update. Thanks, Mr. Kirk!
Why is no one asking the relevant questions?
The elephant is in the room ….
We dance around with this ban and this issue or that. The powers to be , legislators or who ever …
Why are you trying to disarm Americans? Sane, moral, responsible, intelligent, individuals.
What’s the real bottom line here ?
A well regulated malitia (spelling) is to fight against a tyrannical government, or any type of invasion to the country.
It’s for the protection of ALL Americans that people own guns.
Insane crazy individuals opt to do other things with guns. Solve that problem of mental illness….
Go back to making crime a crime.
But to disarm the general population??????
Why ???
That’s the question I’d like to see asked and answered.
What the state of Washington is missing, however, is that self-defense isn't the ONLY lawful purpose for which a person owns firearms. Therefore, their argument is irrelevant.
The hill to die on. Don't let shitty people, yes our gov't, ruin the country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07FsI4vRULs
Why do sane people stay in these liberal states?
Thank you for keeping us updated here in WA on the fight for our 2A rights. It’s very clear that partisan judicial bias is stronger than facts, laws, and reason. I would be interested in hearing what you think would happen if this plea for injunction gets denied (highly possible unfortunately). I’m waiting for the day this eventually reaches the Supreme Court and everything will be settled once and for all. I believe one day it will, maybe not anytime soon but it will because it is undeniably clear that these “AW” bans are un-constitutional. Thank you sir.
It doesn't matter, the 2nd amendment says ARMS, shall not be infringed, that means all Arms shall not be infringed. Why are YOU Americans allowing this?! Especially since crime rates have been increasing.
THEY CANT KEEP CREATING LAWS TO TRY & DISARM AMERICANS,WERE NOT GOING TO COMPLY ,NOMATTER WHATS SAID OR DONE 🖕
This is incrimental total confiscation do you think the government will stop at just this look at every country in the world
and self defense within the context of a "well regulated malitia" is for civilians to come together for common defense against many organized forces ie tyranical government or some form of invasion. Both are still forms of defense.
If our judicial system is going to allow gross mischarecterization of existing laws & decisions, it needs to be torn down & a new system installed.
Maybe I missed it, but if not, maybe do a video educating WA & pushing them to get pos's like Marko Liias the HELL out of WA politics. Since he's a major one introducing these tyrannical effeminate laws, Bills or acts???
They ain’t never been attacked by a
Hog
Police officers are civilians and not using weapons offensively, they almost universally use large capacity magazines and AR-15s, therefore they are the most common use firearms defensively or not.
People are big talk about fighting if they government actually comes. I agree, we should…. but…are you seriously ready to have the entire government as an enemy reqdy and willing to raid your home and shoot kn sight? Really? WACO is what would look like .. unless….we all grouped up..i mean in the thousands …
There is no assault weapons quit being a douche fueling the ignorance
You basically have federal judges acting as safety officers.
There should be a drinking game where every time he says geek out you have to take a shot
Actually no it isn’t the last chance…Cali has a case in San Diego that will overturn the assault weapons ban. This will be sent to the 9th and they will be forced to go along with the ban being overturned….that will overturn every state that is covered by the 9th and Washington is part of it.
Any man who calls a semi-auto rifle a sporting rifle, has a wife who has a boyfriend
“Which are in common use today” how about they allow us to own actual military grade weaponry bet those would be more common then AR’s, but they’ve legislated our right away already…. if more people in this country had a backbone they wouldn’t even be able to use this language.
Appreciate the info on this channel!
Mr. Kirk, logic and good arguments do not apply to tyrants. You dissect the states' arguments as if the judge cares about actual justice. They do not. They will reach the outcome that the state wants because the state will punish them if they disobey. There is no consequence for violating the constitution or the supreme court. The state, however, will dole out punishment for disobedience. Soap box, ballot box, jury box, cartridge box.
We’d all like to see every owner keep up their training, but the reality is that most owners use their weapon to make themselves feel safer without actually firing it or even threatening criminals with it. That’s still use, and it would be rather catastrophic for a state to perversely incentivize people drawing and or firing their weapons in confrontations.
Define assault weapon!
