Firearms Legislation Feed

Here you will find RSS feeds to legislation that I am tracking. If you would like to suggest other feeds that are related to WA legislation or even local politics, feel free to let me know. So you know, there are over forty (40) bills in various stages in our legislature. There are many we oppose but you will find some we support but it is a large job going through all of them. Also note, I am finding many or the RSS feeds improperly written in areas so some are not working. Where I’ve found them, I have tried to put in links to the bill status page. I am updating the feeds as I can…

I am working on several RSS feeds following Washington Legislation. Stay Tuned.
