HB 1240 "Assault Weapons Ban" Passes House

Need a P.O. Box in Idaho 

Heard a couple times of vendors cancelling orders for simply having a billing address in WA but shipping to another state.

Just further proof that when they go after ammo directly we are really screwed.

I agree we are screwed.
I'm happy with past purchasing.

   No problem shipping the firearm before the ban, without a magazine.  Billing address is the kicker.  Not sure how they plan on policing all the option the criminals use.

They never had any intentions of doing that!

They're empowering criminals...on purpose. They want a weak society which can be manipulated into giving them more power. They show it by not protecting our children at school. Each school shooting is one more opportunity. Each mass shooting is one more opportunity. They weaken the ability of police to do their jobs. They let violent criminals go back on the streets with little or no bail. Figure it out.

88 year old Reagan appointed judge just denied one of the injunctions. Kirk's video below has more excerpts from the judge's opinion...watch if you'd like to be extra pissed off at this judge's logic...apparently, "dangerous AND unusual" is now usurped by "exceptionally dangerous"

“Considering the exceptional dangerousness of these weapons, the public interest in their regulation by the State outweighs the Plaintiffs’ desire to purchase more assault weapons,” U.S. District Judge Robert Bryan in Tacoma. “In light of recent mass deaths caused by assailants using assault weapons, it is appropriate for governmental bodies to find ways to protect the public from dangerous weapons, within the limits of the Second Amendment.”

Bryan found that the state's ban does fit in with the nation's long history of regulating dangerous weapons, including colonial-era bans on “trap guns” that could be fired without the owner present. Other historical targets of regulation have included long-bladed Bowie knives and the Thompson submachine gun, or Tommy gun, popular with gangsters in the years after World War I.

WA Gun Law video on it.

You left out the part where they are going after law abiding citizens that use a gun to defend life or property.
It is crazy that criminals are being released or not even detained, yet a person using a gun 'legally' gets jail time.
 
More of the 'demoralizing' that the Russian spy talked about in 1985 on how the US will be brought down. When you go back and listen to what he said, it reads like a historical road map of what has happened in the US.
Unfortunately, it is coming true. I went back and watched it again, and my heart sank.
The US will only remembered as being a very short lived 'empire' that failed.

While we still have it very good, it can change for the worse quickly as people become more and more accustomed to obedience and relying on the Gov't for everything. AND the training of the young so they think it is 'awesome'.
Think how fast the Covid had business shut down and 'the sheeple' huddled in their houses, looking out their windows while the 'powers that be' ran around herding up the stragglers.

I will enjoy what freedoms I have while they last, but I have no illusion about what is coming.
I know enough history to understand what happens next.

I purchased a rifle prior to the Ban, submitted my background paperwork, but background check clearance wasn't completed until after the Governor signed the bill. My FFL will not release the rifle even though my check is clear and was submitted prior to the law change. Now the seller doesn't want to refund money and FFL will not give me the rifle. Has this happened to anyone else?

[Brotherman]

I know of someone that has two rifles and they won't release them, and can't send them back. He is also getting charged $5.00 per day per weapon for storage. BS!!!!!!!!   Same Scenario

Have you contacted WA gun law about your issue? They are looking for a class of plaintiffs for a lawsuit that fit your description.

I just sent an email to Silent Majority Foundation. Waiting to hear back from them. Thanks, and your right- this fits my description exactly.

Several FFL's posted their policy regarding this exact scenario. Assuming it's not one of them, I wouldn't be particularly happy if they didn't disclose their policy but accepted the transfer fee. Definitely contact WA Gun Law!
