HB 1561:  http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/billdocs/2013-14/Pdf/Bills/House%20Bills/1561.pdf (http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/billdocs/2013-14/Pdf/Bills/House%20Bills/1561.pdf)

It sounds like there are certain short barrelled rifles which are legal federally but not legal in Washington and this bill will bring WA law in line with Federal law regarding these rifles, am I understanding this bill correctly?

It also appears it has been referred to the Judiciary Committee?

There is a great list of sponsors, it might be a good bill for this state?

Bearpaw,

The email list you put together on a prior bill was very helpful.  Can you add it here again along with the sponsors?  If this is a good Bill, we need to let the Judiciary Committee know that we want it to pass.

Thanks.
