I have lived in WA state for a good portion of my life.

Washington State is as left wing as they come......they just have been slowed down a little due to pushback from angry hicks/Trailerbilles on the east side of the state and in some outlying area around the state. But now, the Commieocrats have got quite a bit of steam going, watch out California.

I will keep an eye on the news for when you head to Washington to liberate them with bullets.

If it is already illegal, then why does it matter what a state decided to do to reconfirm the law?

because when Arizona did the same thing towards an already in place federal immigration law, the white house and democrats threw a coniption fit and said that they wanted the law repealed or declared unconstitutional.

really? you are going to pull that? I seem to remember plenty of states voting to put into place voter ID's and making gay marriage illegal. but you sure as heck do not mind making the voters in those states irrelevant.

after all, the residents in those states decided that those laws should be passed too. I wont hold my breath waiting for you to sound out loud that those states can make gay marriage illegal and voter ID legal.

It was actually contested in the Supreme Court and the law was found to be unconstitutional by the matter of preemption. Federal law concerning the matter trumped any state law concerning the matter.
It's a whole nother issue than background checks in Washington State.
States are free to regulate guns and exercise gun control to their heart's content. They are not allowed to supersede federal enforcement of immigration law and that is verbatim to the constitution.

What would possibly cause you to draw that conclusion?
I'm very well versed in the 2nd amendment. I interpret it as I see it. Just exactly as you do.

I'm questioning your linkage of Arizona State immigration enforcement to Washington State requiring universal background checks.

Granted not you specifically because you don't live in Washington, so this law has no effect on you.
So you're openly advocating for people to go ahead and just break the law?

LOL

Ironic though, your statements demonstrate just how draconian and unenforceable this law really is.

People break laws all the time, I am sure you were speeding at one point or another today, that doesn't mean we should get rid of speed limits because some people break the law.
