2022 WA Legislative Session - SB 5078 (Mag Ban Bill) Help Needed
Hello and welcome to a special edition of our ongoing threads regarding 2A-relevant bills in the state legislative session, which runs from 1/10 through 3/10.
As you may be aware, this week Tuesday-Friday (2/8-2/11) are all-day sessions in both chambers of the legislature. These days are already shaping up to be extremely busy ahead of the 2/15 cutoff date to pass bills out of their chamber of origin.
One of the bills that could be voted on this week is SB 5078, banning standard-capacity magazines. Senator Marko Liias (D, LD 21) has proposed an amendment that drops the magazine capacity limit from 17 rounds of ammunition back down to the original limit of 10. This amendment is highly problematic as the most popular handguns sold accept magazines generally accepting 15-20 rounds of ammunition. It is also concerning that legislators have claimed to listen to the concerns of gun-owners only to have an amendment like this proposed.
We are asking you to speak out against this bill and Senator Liias's proposed amendment, especially if you are a constituent of LD 21. You can comment on the bill on the legislature's website:

You can also contact Senator Liias's office directly via phone at 360-786-7640, or via email at [email protected]. Keep your comments civil, articulate, and brief. It would be helpful to give us a quick "Done" comment once complete.
