Assault weapons ban in Washington HB2354

[cowboycraig]

Keep the pressure on, you never know when nonsense like this will gain traction - particularly when the gov will spend public money lobbying for it and Microsoft Millions show up as well.

High capacity is > 10 rounds (virtually every full size 9mm & 40 made) and assault is semi auto w/any size detachable magazine + one scary but irrelevant feature.

Existing high cap magazines are grandfathered, presumably you would have to somehow prove when you bought them.  You could only sell either to a dealer or face felony charges (no exemption for out of state sales).

The bill's sponsor is Moeller from Vancouver.

Correct. First sales and soon followed by "turn'em in" followed by SWATTING.

Please Oppose House Bill HB2354

Body:

Please oppose HB 2354. First and foremost, this bill is in direct conflict with Article I, Section 24 of the Washington Constitution, and also with the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. In addition, it's ridiculous to think that this law will be followed by or deter people who want to murder. The only effect of it will be the disarming and endangerment of good citizens by limiting their capacity to defend themselves and their families against those who would harm them. To put this into perspective, if I am limited to a specific magazine capacity and am then faced with multiple attackers or intruders into my home, I will be put at an extreme disadvantage. Please don't allow this trampling of our rights. I implore you to reject this bill. Thanks very much and I respectfully request the courtesy of your reply.

Well it reads that if you have them now, you will at least get to keep them for now. What's here can stay! You have to follow I-594 if you want to sell them.

Subject: Please Oppose HB 2354

Dear Representative,

Infringing on the 2nd Amendment rights of law abiding citizens will not resolve the problems of criminals, terrorists, and maniacs using guns illegally. Are we also going to make auto ownership illegal because criminals use autos to assist them in committing crimes? Another important consideration, most gun violence occurs in the larger cities with gun restrictions or in gun free zones where law abiding citizens cannot protect themselves. By adding more gun laws we will be playing right into the hands of criminals, terrorists, and maniacs wanting to commit crimes or make their mark on America. Please oppose HB 2354. We really should be encouraging gun ownership and responsible gun use to discourage criminals, terrorists, and maniacs.

Best Regards,
Dale Denney

Take the same text, run it as an imitative, and it will pass by a significant margin. I can see Bill and Melinda Gates and Paul Allen jumping on the fund raising wagon again.
