He added that cur- rently no court has ruled Initiative 163,passed by voters in November. unconstitutional. "I will defend 1-1639 against any legal challenge," Ferguson states in his letter. "My office defeated the legal challenge to the previous gun safety initiative passed by the people, and I am confident we will de- feat any constitutional challenge to Initiative 1639 as well. Local law enforcement officials are entitled to their opinions about the constitutionality of any law, but those personal views do not absolve us of automatic rifles. Salisbury made his stance known during the Feb. 5 business meeting of the Board of Mason County Commissioners in Shelton. Later that day, Salisbury released the contents of an email he sent the day before to all Mason County Sheriffs Office personnel. "The concerns about the initiative are related to the constitution, and the courts will have the op- portunity to rule on the concerns raised," Salisbury email reads. "The rule of law is about respecting the voters, the courts, and' the law(s) themselves. We will uphold the rule of law and respect the role of the courts in interpreting the law." these background checks. "State lav =provides immunity to local law en- forcement officers who run these checks 'in good faith'," Ferguson's letter reads. "However, in the event a police chief or sheriff re- fuses to perform the background check required by Initiative 1639, they could he held liable if there is a sale or transfer of a. firearm to a dangerous individual prohib- ited from possessing a firearm and that individual uses that firearm Ferguson our duty to enforce Washington laws and protect the people." A week earlier, Salisbury stated his opposi- tion to enforcing the measure, which requires en- hanced background checks for the purchase of semi The enhanced background checks on semiauto- matic rifles are the same as the ones the state cur- rently requires to purchase a handgun.

Late last month, Kevin Shutty, Board of Mason County Commissioners chair, drafted a resolution that states the BOCC's opposition to [-1639. The resolution directs Salisbury to submit a report re- garding the enforcement of 1-1639 and future fire- arm regulation within 30 days of passage ofthereso- lution. That resolution was expected to pass during Wednesday's rescheduled BOCC business meeting, but that was cancelled due to inclement weather. The agenda for the BOCC's next scheduled business meeting on Feb. 19 wasn't posted to the county'S website as of Wednesday morning. "NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Mason County Commissioners that the Board of Commissioners does hereby oppose the im- plementation of 1-1639 or the enactment of any leg- islation that would infringe upon the lawful rights of its residents to keep and bear arms, and would con- sider such laws to be unconstitutional and beyond lawful application of its legislative and governance authority or duties," reads Shutty's resolution. Shutty sent a message Tuesday to the Journal re- garcting Ferguson's letterto law enforcement. "While I'm glad to see Attorney General Fergu- son turned his attention away from suing the fed- eral government over policies he finds politically unsuitable, I'm disappointed he would threaten independently elected sheriffs and law-abiding citizens," Shutty wrote. "The constitutional con- cerns our sheriffs and constituents raise regard- ing 1-1639 should be taken seriously by the attor- ney general, who has spent thousands of taxpayer dollars and staff resources pursuing his own po- litically motivated legal action while in office. I encourage him to listen to the concerns folks have outside Seattle's political bubble, respect the opin- ion of local law enforcement officials and allow the courts to evaluate the constitutionality of the ini- tiative." A message left for Salisbury on his cellphone voicemail at 4:11 p.m. Tuesday seeking comment was not returned as of 10 a.m. Wednesday morning. www. sheltoncinemas.com 517 Franklin St. 360-426-1000 Showtimes for February 15 - 21 LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART DON'T WAIT! limited time Receive 2 AudioTc Hearing aids f:LsF, c MIRACLE EAR SHELTON MIRACLE EAR ABERDEEN -116 W.
