You have the links right.
ETA - the text of the bill is written to make it retroactive, limiting the purchase of "assault weapons" effective Jan 1 2022.

It's obvious to me that they think that the 2nd A actually says........

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, unless I say it's reasonable and makes common sense to me."


Aloha, Mark

PS.....click the red "5217". Provided in the OP's post.
Then click on Bill Documents...."Original Bill"
It starts with the definitions of "Assault Rifles".
Then....
The real stupid part begins on Page 4 (New Section) Sec. 2

You should add a "Washington" tag to this.

These bills closely match IP18 but go farther by also prohibiting manual loading rifles that are otherwise the same as the semi auto versions.

 

[User 1234]

It is important to write and oppose these. We have defeated them five years in a row, but like a terrorist attack they only have to slip it through once. We have to oppose the bills every year.

Elections are coming around again, just like they do every couple years. The letters and e-mails can't hurt but, law makers prove over and over that they laugh at them when the camera is off. Law makers only fear one thing, losing their job. If they get a mountain of angry letters and then still win? Why are they supposed to care? I keep hoping gun owners will eventually get a belly full and start to care. So far few do.

IIRC State Legislature is 4-year terms. Doesn't mean we can't try for some Recall petitions...

 

[WheatNuts]

What I gleaned from skimming these bills (I will read in detail later), is that "assault weapons" will now be banned in WA unless they're grandfathered in. Is that correct?

 

[Diamondback]

And they can tongue-polish my craplocker, since you can't prove assembly dates on homebuilds.

These people all need a massive epidemic of untreatable rectal cancer...

I can't say the following for absolute, dead certain. But the text as it stands was from the 2021 session, likely that 2022 cut-off would be updated to reflect the passage of one year. I don't think the intention is for it to be retroactive.

Wouldn't be the first time these sh*tstains have done Ex Post Facto...

Yes what I mean is the election comes again and there is always things to vote on that people in charge do pay attention to. The vast majority of gun owners either ignore these elections, or better yet help the worst people and laws pass. This is how we got the law that made my 10/22 an assault weapon. Gun owners supported it. We got a chance for a do over and gun owners again supported leaving the law in place. Law makers may as a whole not be very smart but they are not blind. They see this going on and then people wonder why they laugh at a bunch of angry letters? As long as gun owners tell law makers they do not care, the law makers do not care about the angry letters. They know their jobs are safe no matter what they do.

And here.. I uploaded a huge list of legislators 'direct to' email addresses. I ALSO uploaded a letter & sent it to every legislator on the list.

Washington - EAOTD #1: Please sign in against HB 1618, 1630 & 1705!

Con on all three.
