2020 - probable gun bans and restrictions.

House Bill 2240 and Senate Bill 6077 ban the manufacture, possession, sale, transfer, etc. of magazines that hold more than fifteen and ten rounds of ammunition respectively. These limitations are strongly supported by the Governor and the Attorney General. 

These so called “high capacity” magazines are in fact standard equipment for commonly-owned firearms that many Washingtonians legally and effectively use for an entire range of legitimate purposes, such as self-defense or even competition. Those who own non-compliant magazines prior to the ban are only allowed to possess them on their own property and in other limited instances such as at licensed shooting ranges or while hunting.  Self defense is prohibited, contrary to our specific constitutional right.

Restricted magazines have to be transported unloaded and locked separately from firearms and stored at home locked, making them unavailable for self-defense. HB 2240 has been pulled from the Rules Committee and is now eligible to receive a floor vote at any time!

House Bill 1315 and Senate Bill 6294 each require more, burdensome government red tape and further training to obtain a Concealed Pistol License. Expensive & mandatory training requirements are yet another cost prohibitive measure intended to ensure that lower income Americans are barred from defending themselves.

Contact your legislator and let 'em know how you feel about the gun bills.

Each of these bills are illegal.  "The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired"  Washington State Constitution, Article 1, Section 23.  The legislators who vote for these bills, and the governor who is expected to sign them, are doing it in contravention to our constitution.  Vote them out.
