From the article: QuoteSen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, said a number of states have passed similar legislation.

Wouldn't talk of this make sales skyrocket? Wouldn't this be a great time to go by an AR or two to get ahead of the ban?Say you already have a firearm with a high cap magazine and they ban the mags. Are they simply banning the sale or do you then need to plug the magazine so that you are limited to 10 rounds?

And sadly, this is not going to go away. Sooner, probably than later, they will tire of spinning their wheels and it will be written up and put on the ballot for public vote, just like baiting & hounds was for bear... We all know how that will turn out!!
Take the time to Contact the AG'S office!!IT will only take you a couple of minutes!! I just did, IF you can post here on HW, contacting his office is even simpler!! Besides, HE is your elected official!! Tell him what you think!

We all know how that will turn out!! Even with a Democrat majority in both the Senate & House I don't think it would pass, unless they had a wide majority. There are a few Democrat legislators in WA with some conservative views on firearms and don't vote with Ds on firearm issues.But if this goes on the ballot as an initiative, it's a done deal.
If passed, would depend on the language. If written to just ban future sales, no.If written to ban all ownership and no provision for those already legally purchased and possesed, then yes, if found with one not meeting the requirements, could be charged, taken, whatever, again, depending on how it is worded.And sadly, this is not going to go away.

We'll see what happens with this years election for state legislature. Right now the Republican controlled "majority caucus" controls the Senate. But if the Democrats regain control of the state Senate who knows what will happen. Although I personally think a voter initiative for this matter would have a higher likelihood of passing then a bill in the legislature.
Hopefully it will cost him the election! That might send a message!

None of the news reporting sites have specified on the mags yet being grandfathered or not but my guess is NO.... I gave all mine away that were over 10 round ct
This Opinion Poll Spells Trouble for Gun Ban ProposalIt’s not just FBI Uniform Crime Report data that goes against the narrative launched earlier this week by Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson in his push for a ban on so-called “assault weapons,” public reaction is decidedly negative.http://libertyparkpress.com/this-opinion-poll-spells-trouble-for-gun-ban-proposal/
