Murray backs bill banning assault weapons
She wants Washington to be just like California....
The bill would ban the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 205 named military-style assault weapons, although current owners of weapons could keep them.
The bill also bans any assault weapon that uses a detachable magazine and has at least one military characteristic, including a pistol grip, threaded barrel or telescoping stock. Again, owners of weapons matching these descriptions could keep them.
Magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition would also be banned, exempting current owners.
The Assault Weapons Ban, if implemented, would require a background check on future sales, trades or gifts of assault weapons named in the bill as well as require grandfathered assault weapons to be stored in a secure gun storage or with a safety device like a trigger lock.
A ban on bump stocks, which allow semi-automatic weapons to function like a fully automatic weapon, is also included in the bill.
