EDMONDS, Wash. (AP) — The city council in the Seattle suburb of Edmonds has formally repealed the city’s gun storage law and related laws after the state Supreme Court ruled the city’s gun safety law was preempted by state law. The Daily Herald reports in a council committee meeting last week, City Attorney Jeff Taraday recommended City Council members also repeal the related ordinances defining proper locking devices and reporting of lost or stolen firearms. The gun storage law proposed by then-council president Mike Nelson was adopted in July 2018. Three residents sued with the help of the National Rifle Association and the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation.
