The law makers say the warrant less search provision in the bill was a "clerical error"!!

Here's another link to the Article: Simply Stunning!
Misstep in gun bill could defeat the effort | Local News | The Seattle Times
Just imagine if the reviewer/individual who caught this mistake, hadn't; and then was accidentally signed into law.
IMHO, these anti-gun advocates did this intentionally. Their excuse...a staffer made the mistake?? I would hope that the folks in Washington State would stage a recall vote on the sponsors to the Bill.

I spoke to two of the sponsors. One, Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle, a lawyer who typically is hyper-attuned to civil-liberties issues, said he did not know the bill authorized police searches because he had not read it closely before signing on.
"I made a mistake," Kline said. "I frankly should have vetted this more closely."
I'm shocked, SHOCKED.
No, wait, what's that other word that means the opposite of shocked?
The prime sponsor, Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, also condemned the search provision in his own bill, after I asked him about it. He said Palmer is right that it's probably unconstitutional.
"I have to admit that shouldn't be in there," Murray said.
Probably? Ya think?
He said he came to realize that an assault-weapons ban has little chance of passing this year anyway. So he put in this bill more as "a general statement, as a guiding light of where we need to go."
Oh, I know exactly where you want us to go buddy. Can I also suggest where you should go?

Of course they read them, they're just trying to sneak this stuff past us. According to Soundpolitics.com, Kline has sponsored two other bills containing the same provision. SB 6396 and SB 5475. The man is a liar.

One is not supposed to read prospective legislation, in part or in its entirety. You have to vote it in as law first, then find out what in the hell you voted for, and the purpose of the law.
This is just plain scary. Its as if each state is trying to out do eachother in gun laws/bills. First it was the NY bill that passed and now the anti has been upped to unlawful search's of your home for guns. Its like they keep probing the waters to see what we will catch and what they can get away with. How much longer before we see "confiscation"as part of a proposed gun law? It was in the NY bill but taken out before voted on.

Wow, these guys don't know anything. You have to PASS the Bill first, so you can find out what's in it!
