HB 1240 would prohibit the manufacture, importation, distribution, sale, or offer for sale of any assault weapon in the state. The term assault weapon characterizes all of the following types of weapons below in the language of the bill. semiautomatic rifles with an overall length of less than 30 inches; semiautomatic centerfire rifles that have the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and have one or more additional features listed in the bill; semiautomatic centerfire rifles with a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds; semiautomatic pistols that have the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and have one or more additional features listed in the bill; semiautomatic shotguns that have one or more additional features listed in the bill; specific firearm models identified in the bill; and conversion kits and parts that can be used to assemble an assault weapon or convert a firearm into an assault weapon, if the parts are in the possession of or under the control of the same person. There will be several exceptions within the bill, including sales to the military and law enforcement and for selling to out-of-state customers. The bill passed with 55 yeas and 42 nays, and now heads to the Democrat-controlled Senate. Both Gov. Jay Inslee and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson released statements Wednesday night applauding the passing of the bill in the House. “Assault weapons have contributed to some of the deadliest shootings over the last decade, and keeping more of them out of our communities will make Washington a safer place,” Inslee said. “I applaud the bill sponsors and the Attorney General’s Office for helping advance this crucial public safety measure.” “The House today put public safety above the interest of the gun lobby,” Ferguson said. “The devastation of mass shootings extends far beyond the casualties and injuries. Mass shootings traumatize entire communities. We must stop selling these weapons of war in Washington.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim3326 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Rather convenient of them to make a carve out for out of state sales so it doesn't totally kill the businesses there. They will take credit for that carve out saving jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might keep up on current events - but you don't deliver the information, unless pressured. Unless it's a meme, brother. For Fuq's sake - if you have the info, then just post it when you make your drive-by comment. It's way - WAY - less frustrating for everyone here that way, in the long run. I stopped looking up things you've claimed and stated a long time ago, because it's just burning MY time to do so. If you have info, then just post the details for it, when you make your post. Take the time. You've been here long enough - you know how this place is. Instead of a short comment that instigates - just put the info up. It's not too much to ask of someone that's been here for almost 12 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgiven Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 More feel good legislation that does nothing to resolve the multitude of problems the state faces. Least of which is firearm infringement. West coast legislation policy's are beyond the rediculas. Next gas stoves, bunch of fuktards.

Sisco Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Anything on grandfathering in current owners? I assume they will. It just sucks though. A typical legislature grabbing low hanging fruit and then claiming this will solve the problem. It won’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
