We will find out soon.
Hope this doesn’t turn into a “What Now?” Thread. |

I didn’t see whether or not this covers 80% lowers. If not aren’t we all just gunna bust out ye’ole router and jigs and make our own toys.
Also I see this facing a whole host of legal challenges. Do we see this ending up in front of SCOTUS?

I would bet the lawyers are warming up their computers at this time, getting ready to file suits against the measure; that is if they have not already have them sitting and ready to file.

So now any anti-gun police chief or sheriff in Washington can effectively ban the sale of pistols and semi-auto rifles to everyone in their jurisdiction by simply refusing to give permission?

Do you have to register your handguns in your state? In Ny you can only own a handgun if you have a license and before you can pick it up you have to have it added to your permit and it is registered with the sheriff. It’s a pain but the law. I don’t think it does anything to keep guns from the bad guys as they could care less about laws . I wish more experienced and knowledgeable people would be consulted before states try things

#1) some of us like other things than build it yourself ARs. #2) Enjoy fondling your 80% lump of metal. Its not useful for anything but a paperweight. As soon as you turn it into a gun, its a semiautomatic assault weapon under the state law, and you're just as screwed as the rest of us. You don't get a pass just because you made it yourself. In fact, you MAY be violating the new STATE law just by making it. DO you think, even for a moment that the people who created and support 1639 will let you off the hook just because you didn't violate any FEDERAL law when you router'd out your new toy? I don't. I see a wonderful opportunity for their side to get a ruling that making a semiautomatic assault weapon is, A) subject to the same license, tax, storage, background checks, and training requirements as a purchased semiautomatic assault weapon or B) a clear case of conspiracy to violate the law. You built it, "only" to avoid those requirement. They don't even need to make an argument about "unlicensed manufacture", (but they probably will try that angle too..), they'll argue that you "transferred" the gun to yourself (by making it), and did so WITHOUT a background check (on yourself), without the waiting period, without paying the semiauto tax, without proving you have been to and passed approved training within the last 5 years, without getting the Chief of Police or Sheriff's written approval before taking delivery, and without every other thing they can think of to add to that list. Oh, and I do hope you are over 21...because if not, you're toast automatically, NOW.... All it takes is one court ruling. What ever that ruling is, its the way the law is applied from then on, until/unless a higher court overturns it. I-1639 is yet another example of the victory of "sound-byte lawmaking". Passed by true believers with the aid of the un, and under informed. And everyone who didn't read the proposal ALL THE WAY THROUGH was underinformed!!! We were all told, repeatedly, that the law was about background checks and raising the minimum legal purchase age to 21 for semiautomatic assault weapons. The rest of what the law does wasn't mentioned. And it does a LOT! None of it good, that I can see...

Dano, here in WA State we have to fill out a State form only for purchase of a pistol from a dealer. The long-guns do not require the form, until this initiative goes into effect. And all those years of private purchases of pistols did not require the form.
So it is not full registration for pistols but it has been sorta-registration since some time in the 1970's, I think it was. Not sure about the date of the form starting to be required. Let's just say I am rather careful of selling any pistol which I purchased years ago by lawful private sale. The billionaires keep pumping in the money so the gun-control screws can be tightened on us again and again. Bart Noir Who expects no noticeable positive effect from this new gun control.

The few articles I’ve read today are still deceptive. They mention raising the age limit, requirement of safe storage and that any legal challenge will be fought off.
They say this addresses most of the root causes of mass violence. |

Oddly enough (not), these measures do not address any further deterrents or punitive measures geared toward the criminal who obtains illegally gained weapons, or uses them in the commission of a crime. We need to implement draconian punishment for the perps. Our liberal judicial system doesn't make them squirm while considering the illegal use or purchase of a firearm.
Instead, WA state focuses on the influx of funds gained through lawful purchases, and the implementation of measures which are geared toward a liberal judicial system pining to make criminals of LEOs who THEY deem made a bad shoot. Cops have enough to worry about as it is today. Now they have further reason to make a split second doubt about using deadly force, when they are trained to act upon training and observation. Any more delay will get more of our cops killed. |

Why does even Fox News make this law sound so benign?
It’s 30 pages long, it does way more than this. They’ve managed to classify virtually all common weapons as assault weapons. Quote:

Every one. From your Marlin Glenfield .22 to your AR, from your Browning Buckmark through your Glock and all the way to Desert Eagles, even Olympic match target pistols, ALL OF THEM are now "semiauto assault weapons". There was no exemption for rimfires, no mention of magazine type or capacity, no requirement for X number of features, none of that at all. The definition they used in 1639 was the base definition of all semi autos. Under that law, if a gun uses energy from a fired round to reload itself, (no matter how, or from what) it is now legally a semi auto ASSAULT WEAPON. Period. There was a blurb on the late (local) tv news last night, (I doubt it will be repeated) mentioning the NRA, and others opposition and legal challenges to the new "law". At least one Sheriff is publicly stating he will NOT enforce the law. the sound byte used focused on the section of the law that prohibits 18-20yr olds from buying a semi auto rifle. He had a rather good point , that we do not remove or deny "constitutionally protected rights because the majority of the people think its a good idea." they claim the measure requires "enhanced background checks" yet NO ONE can (or will?) say what that is. It also require "proof" of approved training, and yet, there is no such approved training existent at this time. The common Hunter Safety training (provided through the NRA) is NOT "approved" under the law. Nor is anything else that currently exists. The law changes the way ALL HANDGUNS and semi auto rifles are purchased. It not only requires proof of training that doesn't exist, but REQUIRES such proof to be sent to the Sheriff or local Chief of Police, (of your home residence) by the firearms dealer, and that dealer cannot transfer possession of the firearm to you until he receives IN WRITING, approval from the police, allowing him to proceed. Even if you already HAVE a concealed weapons permit. Forget about CHL letting you buy a pistol and take it home the same day. Forget about being able to buy a pistol anywhere is the state except right where you live, (and maybe not even there) in a reasonable amount of time. 1639 gives the local Chief LEO the ability to deny your purchase, without requiring any justification, and without providing ANY appeal process, at all. Forget about "shall issue" being of any value now. They now can, under 1639, issue you all the permits you want, and DENY you every single purchase at the same time! In short, and among its other requirements, 1639 includes a list of requirements THAT CANNOT BE MET in order to purchase a handguns or semi auto long arm. The entire law is a huge reeking pile of excrement, passed by people who didn't look any further than the title and selected sound bytes. Three wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner IS democracy, but majority agreement doesn't mean its right, only that 50%+1 were conned into agreeing with it.

How does the law effect people travelling through Washington with semi-auto firearms?

And this isn't going to help that situation, at least for now, but as the Supreme court makes narrow decisions on narrow subjects, is this broad enough, bad enough and far enough for it to bring all of this to a head?
