Please help stop a BAD Washington KNIFE BAN Bill! SB 5444 would BAN Knives on PUBLIC TRANSIT in Washington! The bill would make it illegal to possess ANY knife at a "transit station" including bus, train and trolley stops! This would make it illegal to carry a knife on public transit, period since you can't board without going through a transit station! We need your URGENT help to get "knives" amended out of this BAD BILL!
The hearing on SB 5444 is scheduled for first thing Friday morning, so EMAIL TODAY!
Chefs would be unable to carry their knife roll. Tradespeople would be unable to carry their knife used at work. Fishers would be unable to carry a knife to clean their catch. The unintended consequences of SB 5444 will especially burden the economically disadvantaged who must use public transit.
