This video analyzes Washington House Bill 1504, a proposed mandatory firearm insurance requirement. The speaker, William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, argues it's the 'worst gun bill' due to its potential to create a de facto firearm registry and its exorbitant alternative cash deposit requirement. While the bill was recently pulled from a committee hearing, Kirk cautions against celebrating prematurely, explaining that due to the state's biennial legislative session, the bill could be revived in the following year. He draws parallels to previously passed legislation like the magazine ban (SB 5078) and the assault weapon ban (HB 1240) to illustrate how seemingly defeated bills can return.

This video discusses Washington State House Bill 1504, which proposes a mandatory $25,000 insurance deposit or individual insurance policy for each firearm owned or purchased. The speaker argues this bill is unconstitutional, disproportionately affects lower-income individuals and minorities, and could lead to gun seizures, no-knock warrants, and the closure of firearm retailers. The analysis highlights concerns about the financial burden and potential for law enforcement to use non-compliance as justification for search warrants.
