HB 1240 "Assault Weapons Ban" Passes House

[pickardjw]

Banta v Ferguson has been assigned to the same judge in Eastern Washington...the same judge that was supposed to rule on the magazine ban in December. Judge Mary Dimke, appointed by Biden in 2021...

Of course it has. I wouldn't expect anything less from these folks.

I will file a lawsuit in Sno. Co or Skagit Co.

I need some Plaintiffs who are law abiding citizens, Armory, gun store, gun range etc.

I could be wrong, so someone feel free to correct me, but even when they were looking to exclude the Military and Law Enforcement, this does not include those individual's privately owned weapons.  I believe all it was/is going to exclude is their duty weapons.

[pickardjw]

Not quite. There is still an exemption for duty weapons for LEO and Military. The exemption was for military moving to WA state for their personal weapons.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 9.41 RCW
to read as follows:

(1) No person in this state may manufacture, import, distribute, sell, or offer for sale any assault weapon, except as authorized in this section.

(2) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to any of the following:

(a) The manufacture, importation, distribution, offer for sale, or sale of an assault weapon by a licensed firearms manufacturer for the purposes of sale to any branch of the armed forces of the United States or the state of Washington, or to any law enforcement agency for use by that agency or its employees for law enforcement purposes, or to a person who does not reside in this state;

(b) The importation, distribution, offer for sale, or sale of an assault weapon by a dealer that is properly licensed under federal and state law for the purpose of sale to any branch of the armed forces of the United States or the state of Washington, or to a law enforcement agency in this state for use by that agency or its employees for law enforcement purposes;

...

(f) Any person on active military duty receiving orders to move to Washington state, or military retirees moving to Washington state.

So item (f) here was struck from the bill, item (b) is still in it.

It appears a federal judge in Illinois has issued an injunction, which take precedence over another federal judge who refused to block it.

So as of now it appears these laws regarding semi-autos and 10 rd mags cannot be enforced, including Washington

It’s hard to keep up, I suspect this will be in SCOTUS pretty quickly

Judge Dimke used to be an Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Washington. She prosecuted federal crimes. Most likely very conservative as most federal prosecutors tend to be. Might not be bad for her to hear the case.

You could be right. She appears to be slow walking the mag ban case…

Actually this is huge for all states.  Remember the 14th Amendment?

Why would Biden appoint her if she was very conservative?
