Title: House Bill 2264 Legislation to close Gun Show Loophole
Post by: bowhuntin on February 23, 2009, 04:17:10 PM

Not sure if this has been posted yet...

On Thursday, February 19 House Bill 2264 was proposed and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
 
This bill would impose sweeping restrictions on our Second Amendment rights and set the stage for a ban on all private firearm sales in Washington State.  HB2264 would require that all firearms transactions taking place at gun shows be subjected to background checks, even those occurring between family and friends. Any violations would be a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in prison.
