Aero Precision Filed Lawsuit Against Washington State Assault Weapons Ban

Tacoma, WA – Due to the passage of House Bill 1240 by the Washington Legislature and Governor Jay Inslee signing it in to law on 4/25/23, Aero Precision has filed a lawsuit in con- junction with several other plaintiffs to combat this overreaching legislation, seeking tempo- rary and permanent injunction based on the unconstitutionality of this law.

The case was filed on 4/25/23 in the Eastern District of Washington, U.S. District Court. Plaintiffs include Aero Precision LLC , Amanda Banta (2012 Olympian Sport Shooter), Sharp Shooting Indoor Range & Gun Shop, The Range LLC, and the National Shooting Sports Foun- dation. The complaint is filed against defendants Robert W. Ferguson, Attorney General of Washington State, and John R. Batiste, Chief of the Washington State Patrol.

“We do not agree with this law and we do not think it is constitutional,” said Scott Dover, CEO of Aero Precision. “HB1240 bans some of the most common firearms and parts available. It impacts the lawful ownership of products we manufacture and sell to thousands of our cus- tomers in the State of Washington. It also restricts the rights of the individuals, Aero Preci- sion employees, who make these parts. We will fight this law in the courts and are confident in the outcome given the clear rulings in multiple Supreme Court cases, including Heller and Bruen.”

    We are two different countries. I’m tired of pretending we’re not. The people that are doing this are not my countrymen, no matter how much others desperately want us to stay together. I don’t even understand how they can still call their state “Washington”…surely they’ve a plan to cancel that too.

      The borders will be drawn demographically. Large cities with populations over 100,000 persons will become their own small Fiefdoms with little to no say in areas outside their own borders. They will be starved or burned out for their Hedonism, if not their lack of birth rates and sodomy will see their extirpation.

        I was a 12B for 18 years. It would be a shame, a crying shame, if a few highway and railroad bridges accidentally collapsed to help them along. We are not trapped in here with them, it is in fact the opposite.
