Washington State Magazine Ban Fails Crossover Deadline
February 19th at 5:00PM was the deadline for bills to advance from their chamber of origin. Bills to ban standard capacity magazines and increase the red tape to obtain a CPL did not receive a floor vote and are likely defeated for the session. A bill to reform Washington’s onerous background check system passed the House. Unfortunately, several anti-gun bills did clear this deadline and will also continue in the legislative process.
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.
The same group of people have already submitted a slightly changed version of the bill. In the meanwhile, our local prosecutor is releasing data that shows a rapid increase in violent crime!
Yep, I just saw that and posted it for all to see.
