Washington On HB 1240 (2023)

[x2ndxall]

I misspell/have typos on here constantly. THe reason is I almost exclusively use my phone. It would take forever to go back and fix every single mistake. I generally try to fix them when I see them at least on non-bs/joke posts.

So do I, and it's also on account of using my phone.

That wasn't really my point though.

I know - cell phone keyboards suck. I fat finger the keys all the time too. I tend to fix the errors when I spot them.

Yes please spell it out

You clearly missed my point. Maybe you're one of the ones I was sticking up for.
Hopefully you're not going to make me spell it out for you.

Apple products are all programed to be inherently anti gun / anti freedom.

And predictive text software is racist AND over-woke at the same time.

 

[Knobgoblin]

While crafting the last post, I invented the term " over-woke" . Can someone please assist me in copywriting this?

 

[Jay Walk]

Over-woke, no such thing.

Kind of like Over-kill

 

[bradsteen]

Or...

 

[Knobgoblin]

@Jay Walk , this is over-woke.

 

[osprey]

Over-woke, Isn't that when you stay up past your bedtime?

 

[uberguy]

Well of course a attorney is going to tell you that your screwed..but for only 125$ a min they can help..

Better to send money to Firearms Policy Center and The Second Amend. Foundation.

One could perceive it as "rainbow = garbage."

Spelling is important. It's second only to word choice in terms of impact on the utility of written communication.

It can be in the appropriate venue, but in an informal discussion board like this when the intent and context is easily understood, calling out the spelling, vocabulary and grammer police is more just a haughty power play... as if the message is somehow "less than" if not spelled absolutely correctly and with the most learned and befitting word choice.

Just sayin... sometimes it's better to just get over ourselves and use the brains given to us to understand the message even if the delivery might be less than perfect.

Just like we cut a person a little slack and don't automatically disregard what they say just because they are a 1911 fanboy. Obviously, not altogether right in the head, but his/her opinions can still be valid.

 

[Yarome]

Going back to the OP though... it was a few days ago 1240 was assigned to a senate committee and testimony is to be heard... when? The 23rd?

Anyone know for sure (or did I miss it)?

For those of you with questions, I recommend you do not get your information second-hand. I have personally read the bill and watched videos on the daily about these laws, and I am still foggy on parts of it. There is a lot there, it is meant to be vague, and how all of it eventually gets interpreted is unknown.

For quick and digestible information, I do recommend watching William Kirk on youtube, he is a lawyer and president of Washington Gun Law.
This video:

is only 10m long and answers most baseline questions. Washington Gun Law is a great channel and right now he is putting out a video damn near everyday.

For those that dont read...

What' an assault weapon ??? is my Gerber knife an assault weapon ?

The bill does define assault weapon.
To answer your question....no i did not see the Gerber knife listed or defined as such.

side note: some folks/businesses just "get it"
Palmetto State Armory has the following notice at their website

Due to pending legislation and until further legal notice, PSA will prioritize all orders shipping to Washington State.

I also see from another post that Midway has resumed selling 10+ mags and weapons of 10+ rounds to Oregon residents.
Some time ago i tried to buy a 10 plus round lever action thru them...no luck...would not ship to Oregon. Nice to see they FINALLY woke up.

Ok so if a knife is used in a crime its not an assault weapon .... not a weapon at all ? used to assault ? LMAO i love how people give in to their BS. We went from "global warming" debunked to "climate change", we went from "minorities" to racist Democrat speak of jim crow era "people of color", they were called out on "assault rifle" so now they say "assault weapon" .... so handguns aren't assault weapons either ? lmao

That was so helpful in clarifying all of this for me. Thanks a bunch.

 

[Danall]

So if you want them to list handguns as assault weapons and ban them also, I'm sure they would be happy to do so.
So yer gonna write to your congressman complaining their list of assault weapons is not complete enough?

I think you're missing my point on how stupid it is too call it "assault weapon" why is one an "assault weapon" and other not ...... are not longer going to call a knife at crime scene an "assault weapon"
