ACTION ALERT: Washington: Resurrected Mag Ban Scheduled for Hearing on Tuesday

[bbarnes]

Do members realize this bill is going through the finance committee what a under handed scum bag move.

I’m hoping all these gun bills will get the conservative non voters to the polls next time and maybe some dems next election.

The magazine ban is dead. Making illegal the transfer of "assault weapons" is dead. Requiring safety training for CPL is dead. Pretty good week for gun rights in my book unless I'm missing something.

You are missing something. The mag ban was reintroduced after it failed, with a “buy back” provision so it is now an “appropriations” bill and no longer subject to the time restraints the previously defeated version was.

We drove down
Never been to the state buildings before
What a cluster
And no frickin place to park
Ridiculous
Unfortunately we left
But we tried

If you read above, I was educated about that. Thanks.

And that's something new? Vote of the people for $30 tabs. Where's that? In Inslee and Ferguson's pocket.

I attended the hearing this morning,arrived at 6:30 am was like 60 in line.Signed up to speak,good luck on that.This bill is being run through the fianance committee.I felt bad for the family's of gun violence,but this bill is not going to fix the problem.In my opionion the law makers in this state and the federal government,have failed both sides of the fence on these issues.This was the most rigged process I've ever seen,and I drove home 2 hrs and reflected,on how my party has been hi jacked.

I watched it on tv. Sounded like a packed house with overflow basement areas full and not getting to all the statements. Opening statement For the bill guy finishes and asks for any questions. Committee member I think Rep Orcutt says, if criminals don't obey any other laws what's gonna make em start with this one? Derp r derp, speechless. I thought the NRA rep could have came out stronger. Also heard a bunch of lies. Some stats were on how many bullets were fired and how many were killed or wounded. It was like this. 30 rounds 50 killed and 80 injured. 50 rounds 87 dead 120 wounded. . Huh? more were shot than rounds fired.
