Washington HB 2054 (2023/2024) - Max 1 firearm within any 30-day period

[WAW44]

In WA is this one firearm per 30 days or just one bgc per 30 days? The way things are going people may have to revert to the old ways. Not suggesting anything at all, just repeating things I overhear.

May revert... That ship sailed , long ago...

ATF is very specific on what is and what isnt a firearm. The registered part (receiver) is the gun. BCGs and other parts are not andhighly unlikely will be restricted/regulated/limited. If you are that hard up for parts, run to the board north or east and get anything you want and bring it back. Plus pay cash so there is no trace

back in 2017 I purchased 5 AR lowers on a sale
then bought some barrels and hand guards just after I retired
I think I'm still good to go

I can see how if a person owns no firearm where something this stupid might have a tiny chance of some sort of effect on crime. But when someone with 2 dozen firearms walks into a dealer to by number 25 and 26 how on earth can this be anything but an infringement? Its not like it would keep anyone from breaking a dozen other laws.

It is meant to frustrate the gun buyer to the point where he/she says bubblegum it, I'm going to take up another sport.
If it stops just one gun buyer, it's a victory for the libtards.

Our state legislature has collectively gone full retard.

I'm looking for light at the end of the tunnel, but I fear it's just another oncoming train.

So a person can buy one gun per dealer per month? I doubt this will cramp the gun buying habits of very many buyers.

I doubt gooberment entities will be bound by this 1 a month malarkey, just like the ammo tax they are trying to cram down our throats as well. Typical rules for thee, but not me mentality. After the AWB, it's full speed ahead for the anti gun buffoons.

I can't blame the WA antis for wanting to go all out. They have been winning and seem to have supporters in the court system and among the majority of the voting populace.

Edit: I will add that they likely have a near zero fear that 2A supporters will resort to the cartridge box, in an attempt to solve the problem. Many 2A supporters are over-complying with existing laws. It's hard to imagine they are going to go from over-compliance to removing tyrants in my lifetime.

Many of the 2A supporters won't vote because the elections are rigged. That leaves complaining about it and figuring out ways to over-comply even further.

You guy's need some new friends, all my 2A friends and family vote.

The language in the House Bill Analysis is clear that this is intended to limit the purchaser (ie., you) to a maximum of one firearm every 30 days.

As currently written and if passed, HB 2054 takes effect 90 days after adjournment of the session in which the bill is passed.

"Firearm dealers are prohibited from delivering more than one firearm to a purchaser or transferee within any 30-day period."

Disagree. The language is not clear. If they had worded it that only one background check could be approved per person I'd agree however the way it's worded is restricting the actions of a dealer not the individual.

The way they will likely attempt to apply will assuredly be the way you have interoperated it at least until someone challenges the wording.

As written it would bar each dealer from delivering more than one gun per month to an individual. https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2023-24/Pdf/Bills/House Bills/2054.pdf?q=20240130061157

Note that the exemption for C&R license holders mentions a certificate that does not exist. This portion was copied and pasted from California without being proofread.


It sure doesn't look like it is going to pass out of committee by Thursday.
