the gun owners protection act 1986..yes, it is illegal, at teh federal level, and though not tested, same act makes it illegal at the state and local level also.
I do believe that is why, when you purchase a firearm through a licensed dealer in WA, there is a "report of sale" that goes to DOL. (and is available to LE) It is not a "registration" only in teminology...and of course, private sales are not required to report the sale.
