This video details how the City of Edmonds' attempt to enact local gun control ordinances, specifically safe storage mandates, was unanimously struck down by the Washington State Supreme Court. William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, explains that these local laws violated state preemption laws (RCW 9.41.290), which reserve firearm regulation to the state legislature to ensure uniformity. The legal challenges, initiated by Mr. Bass and the NRA, resulted in a series of losses for the city, culminating in a 9-0 Supreme Court decision affirming state preemption.
