William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, explains State Preemption Laws, which prevent local governments from enacting their own gun restrictions, reserving that power for state legislatures. He argues that repealing these laws, as advocated by groups pushing for civilian disarmament, would lead to a confusing patchwork of regulations and primarily disarm law-abiding citizens without effectively saving lives. Kirk urges viewers to monitor legislative attempts to repeal preemption, citing Washington's HB 1178 as an example.
