Title: Short barrel rifle and shotgun bill
Post by: Kain on March 25, 2012, 11:19:50 PM: Interesting. First the suppressors and now this. Our state politicians are starting to make common sense changes to our gun laws.

Post by: Kain on March 28, 2012, 08:41:39 PM: The state is trying to clean up some gun laws to match federal law. Like suppressors used to be illegal in WA. They changed it so that as long as you have the federal approval that you can now use them in this state. This is similar only for short barreled weapons. At least that is my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong.
