Now that SB 5078 is going to land on the governor's desk it's a foregone conclusion that he will sign it, bringing Washington state one step closer to becoming California from a 2A perspective. Below is the definition of "large capacity magazine" from the bill:
What fixed magazine firearms can you think of that people may want to acquire before it becomes law? The main ones I can think of are shotguns - KSG, KS25, M&P12, DP12, etc. - but I'm sure there are others out there.
There is no mention that the magazine must be detachable to fall into this category. As a result, I am assuming fixed-magazine firearms with capacity higher than 10 rounds would be affected by this bill, and therefore importation and sale of them would become illegal."Large capacity magazine" means an ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition, or any conversion kit, part, or combination of parts, from which such a device can be assembled if those parts are in possession of or under the control of the same person, but shall not be construed to include any of the following:
(a) An ammunition feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds of ammunition;
(b) A 22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device; or
(c) A tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action ffirearm.
