Latest: The state House passed the ban on the sale of assault weapons on a 55-42 vote Wednesday.
  • The measure applies to a wide variety of semi-automatic firearms, including AR-15s and AK-47s, as well as other guns that have one or more features described in the bill.
  • The legislation would prohibit the sale, manufacturing and importing of such guns. But it wouldn't outlaw possession of them — meaning people who already own those firearms could keep them.
Context: While Democratic state legislators, the governor and the attorney general have proposed versions of an assault weapons ban for years, this year marks the first time such a proposal has cleared either chamber of the Legislature....

Plus: Another proposal that passed the state House this week would require people to wait 10 days when they go to buy any type of firearm, and to go through gun safety training.
  • Separately, a bill that cleared the state Senate would make it easier to sue gun manufacturers and dealers, allowing those businesses to be held liable if they don't take adequate steps to keep guns from falling into the wrong hands.
 

In Washington State, House Bill 1240 was voted out of a Senate committee Tuesday, making it closer to becoming a reality. The bill aims at establishing firearms-related safety measures to increase public safety. If passed, the bill would prohibit all people from manufacturing, owning, buying, selling, loaning, furnishing, transporting, possessing, or controlling any machine gun, bump-fire stock, undetectable firearm, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle, subject to various exceptions ...

You mustve seen this twats letter:
Yes I have saw that and she is demented to say the least. However having been in MomsDemands meetings this is there thought process , bam bam bam. Not background checks or other silly crap. They are ground swelling with a ton of money from Soros to go for an Australia type move. Problem is they are trying to slow and halt sales first. Complete nonsense but that is their goal despite what they claim in the news.
 
We could restrict, regulate and sometimes outright ban the sale or manufacture of ammunition for civilian use. Since bullets were not invented until the late 1800s, this would not trigger any constitutional issues.

A major advantage of this approach is it would help render moot the huge quantity of guns already in people’s possession. Also unlike guns, ammunition has a shelf life so there are at most 20 years before it no longer works.

Bwahahahaha! (wheeze) Hahahahahahahahaha
