Attention...All WA State Law-Abiding Residents: Make Your Purchase Before 1 July!

[FunGramps]

Considering purchasing a "semi-automatic assault rifle"? Get it done before 1 July 2019! That is when the second ultra-intrusive part of the new gun law goes into effect. Note how these laws are directed to law-abiding citizens? Dumba** liberal government doesn't have the cranial capacity to understand that criminals do not attempt to go through federal and state background checks to obtain a weapon. This law, once again, harasses the good folks, not the bad. And that mandatory gun safety class within the last 5 years? The NRA sanctioned hunter safety class I took 52 years ago is a lesson I've practiced my entire life. A caveat...some of this law I can agree with. Most is over the top. WA state is now the new BIG BROTHER I never had. Time to move.

Here is the synopsis of the law:

When do the provisions of Initiative 1639 take effect?

Effective January 1, 2019 the new law

"semiautomatic assault rifle"?

As AR does not mean 'assault rifle' and assault rifles are full auto military weapons, such things don't even exist.

Red herring
