Front page article in the Seattle Times today about gun control ideas being considered for the next legislative session. On the list, establishment of "gun free" zones. Ammunition "regulation." Banning the sale of magazines over 10 round capacity.
We could see the ammunition "regulation" idea coming. It's already in force in California. Anything bad that California goes for will shift north sooner or later. Of course this is just a proprosal at this time, only sketchy details being discussed. Like keeping ammunition out of the hands of felons. And requiring anyone selling ammo who isn't already an FFL dealer to get a license to sell same. Also mentioned was a "voluntary" system of reporting large quantity ammo sales. One pol said, "...if someone comes in to buy 1,000 rounds, I would be worried."
Well, most of my acquaintances who are gun people would be in that worrisome category.
The form that ammunition "regulation" took in California is that anyone who buys it must do the background check thing. Any purchases made online must be shipped to a California dealer for completion of the transaction. Anyone who wants to sell ammo must get a license.
So Washingtonians, my advice would be to start adjusting your inventory now according to your desires. If you don't want to get "stuck" with a lot of ammo on hand, start selling. If you think you need more without government supervision, buy more.
The magazine ban is also murky at this point. We don't know if it will be a complete ban or a ban on sale.
