Sounds like there may be a market for smooth bore AR's, or plastic cases. 
 

 (22) "Rifle" means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or
remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or
redesigned, made or remade, and intended to use the energy of the
explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single
projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the
trigger.

and this is why there is carbine "pistols" that work for certain states

Well, now that all semi-automatic rifles are scary “semiautomatic assault rifles”, it should be noted than an AR pistol, sidesteps all of this. How’s that for a plan libs? You effectively banned all semiautomatic rifles, by making it such a hassle. The end result will be basically more short barreled rifles in the form of AR pistols with people shouldering the braces, or just buying 80% lowers and making completely unregistered guns. Probably not what they had in mind, but I’m SO happy with how this will blow up in their face.

You'll shoot your eye out.

Well, I see it was another typical WA state mid term election!   Over 6 million legal aged voters in the state and only just over 2 million got out and voted, AND you see the results!!!

Quick questions, How many firearm owners never got out and voted?   How many firearm owners  voted for Cantwell and other "D's"

If you think they are done, you are dreaming..................

Next year will see a ban on the ballot.  Possibly magazines >10 rounds, maybe something else.  I also see firearm licensing a possibility, easy way to increase background checks by applying state level requirements.  Other possibilities are increased pressure on gun dealers, we could see state requirements for people who are selling.

They are 2/2 with big margins, we're just beginning.

If you want to see what's coming to Washington, just look to California.  For example, starting in 2019 you have to pass a background check to buy ammo in California.

It's disheartening isn't it, when it's so simple.  We all get mail in ballots, do you don't even need to drive anywhere...don't even need a freaking stamp!  It's postage paid!

Upset i am.lol.but sorry total population for this state is about 7,5 million no way is there 6 million able to vote.  turnout was very good just too many voters in low sea level places. 

seriously though there are 4.36 million registered voters in WA. State as of 11-1-2018.

This is going to shock some of you but as it turns out a lot of democrats are gun owners. And hunters ..... And even members of this site ...

Gotta love that Chief. Maybe I will move to Republic.

Anyone know if there will be an issue of me going to Oregon(or another state) with my 20yo nephew and legally buying any firearms we want then bringing them back to Washington? Hey, I could even save sales tax.

[KFhunter]

It's not illegal to buy rifles and shotguns out of state, nor is it illegal to buy a handgun out of state, but with the handgun you have to FFL it back home.   Federal regulations.

Hawaii is the only state I can think of where you must report and register any guns you bring into the state or purchase within the state.
WA has no such law that I'm aware of (yet) regarding firearms you already own and bring into the state.

[cmiller85]

My guess is that filing a vague, false report that your guns were all lost/stolen would be less of a punishment if you're caught. Ergo, file a report and you're covered in any event.

[Oh Mah]

but as i saw on an Alaska state troopers episode you get caught with the firearm you reported as stolen and did not report that you got it back you can be charged with possession of a stolen firearm.
