Just more pandering to those brain dead, emotional morons who call themselves "Liberals".
Rant over.

Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, said a number of states have passed similar legislation. He said Washington’s proposal would grandfather in legally owned assault weapons.
So, does that mean that if you already own an AR, then if this ban passes you can still go out shooting your AR? 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? :dunno:

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. 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!!

. . . which means to me that the dems trotted out a safe seat to propose something that probably has little chance of passing, but they want to agitate the low-info, gun-hating rubes to vote or continue to vote dem this November.

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.

They'll go ballot because they will have no problem getting funding from Bloomberg.
The libs and ex-Californians will vote for it. They couldn't stay in their own mess of a state.

Are you saying "yes" to a ban that affects everyone and criminalizes those already owned by people? You think that's okay?

"Please contact Attorney General Bob Ferguson and voice your disappointment that he would call for legislation that would do nothing to prevent crime and only place undue burden on law-abiding gun owners. You can contact AG Ferguson by calling (360) 753-6200 or by emailing him here." (https://fortress.wa.gov/atg/formhandler/ago/ContactForm.aspx)

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. :twocents:
:yeah: I agree

It’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.

Absolutly not!
Please reread the entire text of my post, not just the piece you highlighted!!
Was attempting to answer a question posted prior (bolded and underlined in the following qouted reply to the same question I was answering):
From the article:Yes. Yes. Yes (before prices skyrocket because we're all doing the same).

Calm down and please refer any future questions via PM if you do not understand something that I have written, no reason to clog the thread needlessly.
I will be happy to try and explain anything you do not understand.

This Opinion Poll Spells Trouble for Gun Ban Proposal
It’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/
Yea but that's the online public reaction.
There are plenty of King County libs that will vote for this even if they don't understand what it is for.
Bloomberg will fund it. Be sure to post this link in any MSM forum where Bloomberg funded proposals are being discussed.
