Guess I'll have o pick up a few more in the next few days thanks for the info
Oh I have and talked till blue in the face. We will see how it goes
I've read multiple threads and have looked around quite a bit and can not find the answer. If 594 pass what does that mean for handguns that are not registered to my name but already in my possession? Will I have to register all my handguns that I already own?
Well first off NONE of your guns are registered in WA as there is no way possible to do it, unless you own NFA stuff.
594 is NOT registration, and without registration there is no true way to enforce this law. Look for registration to come next if we can not get this law dumped.
Wrong. All retail handgun sales are recorded by the Washington Department of Licensing. You may notice that second form you fill out when you buy a pistol or AR lower (regardless of what you are building - pistol or rifle.)
I-594 is effectively registration as this recording of handgun purchases will be expanded to include private (now brokered by FFLs) transfers & sales.

Call it what you want, but since any cop car in WA right now, with computer access can see my vital statistics, to include a list of my ownership of a certain type of private property (just those handguns purchased through a FFL in WA for now), it satisfies what I'd need to call it a registry.
You mean ASSUMED list of ownership. They have no proof you own ANY of them.
Yes this means all transfers will have to go though an FFL, but it is still not live tracking like true registration. Not that this is any better, but there has to be REAL registration for 594 to work.
With the 4473 or the "pistol" form it is not a live trackable database. If you have ever purchased a gun though an FFL it will ALWAYS show up as you having owned it. That sale does not go back into a database as you "selling it". The next time it is sold it will just show the new buyer as the last record of sale.
