As the statistics show, no more than 4% of gun homicides were committed by these types of weapons during the past couple of years.
Very unlikely that this will get legs in the legislature, but if it's put forth as a citizen's initiative, the majority of gun-fearing liberals in the Seattle area will give it enough votes to pass and become law.

Facts are meaningless when they interfere with emotional liberal lawmaking. ;
Gun Control is not about crime - it is about Control.
That’s ok, at the rate the rabid left coast is getting unhinged over Trump, it’ll all be OBE.
I live in a small town north of Seattle. My wife and I started thinking about how easily out-of-state money saddled us two years ago with the background check initiative so went out at Christmas and each bought an AR. At least now we’re grandfathered.
Sheesh, glad I moved.
Who gives F* about ‘stats’? “...shall NOT be infringed.” is the Law of the land.
Not as if the Socialists care one whit about our Rights, let alone logic or reason. It is about CONTROL. Simple as that.
But they look so evil....
I have in my personal library a copy of David Kopel’s “The Samurai, The Mountie, and The Cowboy: Should America adopt the Gun Controls of other Democracies?”. It, of course, was a groundbreaking study in contrasting and comparing American gun control laws and the surrounding culture with those of Canada, Japan, Jamaica, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, and New Zealand.
I was thinking about this book in the wake of the tragic events in Quebec City this week (as Quebec has its own firearms registry and other very strict laws provincially). One thing to consider is that the American states that immediately border that province (Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont) have among themselves both the most casual or permissive state firearms laws in the entire United States and among the lowest state homicide rates (Vermont, along with Switzerland, being one of the least violent regions in the Western world).
Would a good, thought-provoking book similar to Kopel’s be able to be written nowadays that could compare and contrast distinct regions of the United States in terms of their firearms laws history and culture? One could look at the northern New England area (VT, MI, NH), Atlantic (NY, NJ, RI, MA, MD, DE), Pacific (CA, WA, OR, HI, and Alaska), perhaps an entire chapter dedicated to Texas, the Old South (GA, AL, FL, TN, LA, MO, AR, and the Carolinas), the Older West (OH, PA, MI, MN, IL, IA) and the Newer West (ID, MT, the Dakotas, AZ, CO, KS, NB, UT, and Nevada). I would like to hear other’s views on this as this sort of thing intrigues me.
I live in Washington state, on the Olympic Peninsula. I am very worried that this garbage will in fact pass.
Where I live it is beautiful and we love it here. I truly don’t want to be forced to move. I don’t even know if I can afford to move at this stage of my life, 68.
I hate those bastards that are pushing this fraud. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE CONSTITUTION??
