From inslees' office today..
The final bill funds a bump stock buyback program. After banning bump stock devices in 2018, legislators created a program that would allow bump stock owners to exchange their bump stock for $150. A federal ban on bump stocks goes into effect soon, so passage of this bill ensures the Washington State Patrol can immediately launch the program. Washington residents can exchange up to five bump stocks to the Washington State Patrol, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives or local law enforcement. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Information about the program is available at www.wsp.wa.gov/buyback. The bill appropriates $150,000 for the program.
Here's a part of the 'news release' ya gotta love.. "Machine guns are illegal in Washington..." Really? Uhh no they're not! Ya ever wonder who writes this/these stupid wrong info 'news releases?' The mis-information in the wsp site is disgusting but I just ask each of you to render your own opinions.
ahhnd,
There is a limit of five bump stocks per individual, and all vouchers will be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once the $150,000 appropriated in Senate Bill 5954 has been distributed, no more funds will be available.
Yesseree, feel good legislation that criminals could care less about. BTW, no funding for belt loops ..sorry.
