Washington state forges ahead with three of the most extreme gun control bills in the nation<\/a><\/p>\n

The Washington State Senate is considering passing three of the most extreme gun control bills in the country.<\/p>\n

Assault Weapons Ban\/Ban on Most Semi-Automatic Rifles<\/p>\n

SB 5217 would establish a traditional Assault Weapons Ban, which includes modern sporting rifles, such as the AR-15.<\/p>\n

What makes this bill even more extreme is it bans most semi-automatic rifles.<\/p>\n

According to the bill, all \u201cassault weapons\u201d and their \u201ccopycats\u201d are banned. Notice<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Copycat weapon\u2019 means a semiautomatic, centerfire firearm that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine\u201d as well as one other feature, such as a suppressor, threaded barrel, muzzle brake, or grenade launcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh-capacity\u201d Magazine Ban<\/p>\n

SB 5078 would create a \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazine ban. To skirt the Ninth Circuit\u2019s ruling in Duncan v. Becerra, which struck down California\u2019s \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazine ban, Washington State would grandfather in those that already own these magazines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe legislature does not intend to create a blanket ban, but only to limit the prospective sale of large capacity magazines, allowing existing legal owners to retain large capacity magazines for the purposes of defending themselves and their homes and using those large capacity magazines in other authorized locations,\u201d the bill reads.<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, the bill also redefines what constitutes as a \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazine. Traditionally, anti-gunners consider magazines that hold 10 rounds or less as \u201cnormal\u201d and 11+ rounds as \u201chigh-capacity.\u201d SB 5078 changes the definition to 12+ rounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhost Gun\u201d and Bump Stock Ban<\/p>\n

HB 1705 is rather redundant to federal legislation. It bans new \u201cghost guns\u201d from being built. Those that own these firearms must have serial numbers before selling to an FFL, which is already federal law.<\/p>\n

The bill also outlaws bump stocks, which are deemed a \u201cmachinegun\u201d under the Gun Control Act and National Firearms Act. The ATF changed the bump stock designation after the Route 91 shooting in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
