2024 WA Governor's race: on Gun Control


Semi Bird: Will overturn assault weapons ban, there's no such thing

As Governor, I will overturn Jay Inslee's assault weapons ban. There is no such thing as an assault weapon, it's simply a term meant to scare people. I won't allow our Second Amendment to be infringed upon in this way.
