The state of Washington on Thursday proposed bans on the sale of "assault weapons" and high capacity magazines, part of a package of gun laws meant to address a rising wave of U.S. mass shootings.

If successful, Washington would become the seventh U.S. state to ban assault weapons, which it defines as semi-automatic rifles with at least one military feature, and the ninth to limit the capacity of ammunition magazines.

I believe the RATs have a slim majority in Washington - this could turn the Senate back to the GOP.

Hell, we won’t even bother hiding them on the dry side of the state. Neither will most sheriff’s deputies with their own personal collections.

And as a caller to our local radio talk show just said, the Dem’s penultimate goal is to ban every firearm with ANY type of magazine (supposedly these are military-style weapons) and then every remaining firearm ultimately.

Semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines.

Intended for use by the American citizenry.

The ruling law of any state is first The Constitution of the United States. Any state law is subservient. There are legal methods outlined in the Constitution for changing it. Use them or STFU.

The BLM has effectively banned guns May through October on public lands here in the desert by not allowing target shooting due to “fire risk”.

A card played to distract from the $30 tabs, of which this nitwit AG has done nothing to fight for in the courts.

Yet to see the details but for 2A defenders, this nitwit asshole AG has threatened sheriffs in the eastern counties that they would be liable in civil courts if they don’t adhere to statues.

We need to push back on this assault on our freedoms.by twisting words and their meaning.

Who cares?

The Second Amendment protects actual 'weapons of war'; what the heck do you suppose a "well regulated militia" would be armed with?

NFA is the original and blatant violation of the Second Amendment.

I think, just like what's happening now in Virginia, here in Washington state, mass disobedience by gun owners and County Sheriffs unwilling to enforce these unconstitutional laws, will be the impetus for our stand against Inslee's tyranny.

Let's see who blinks first.

“It’s time for the citizens of eastern Washington and eastern Oregon to start the constitutional process of legally separating from their existing states are merging into Idaho.”


Or create the state of Jefferson with the red counties of southern Oregon and northern California.
