Can't get any more blatant about grabbing than that.
Canadian gun grabs are next.

Not sure what people really expect. I had no idea that if you do not have a CPL and are found carrying concealed that you could get the gun back.
For decades I carried in AZ because we could not get a CC law passed. I always just assumed that if "caught" the gun would be never seen again.

The 2018 WA law says yearly background checks for gun owners required. It says if gun owner is ineligible for any reason they can confiscate. This is already law but they have no gun registry or funding to enforce it, yet.

Any of these new laws that they continue to pass every year can be used as "ineligible for any reason" in the future. Basically they are creating so many laws that any given gun owner can be found to be "ineligible" to continue to own any guns. It's civilian disarmament via slow legislative creep.

WA DOL has had a pistol registry since 1935. Semi auto rifles were added July 1 2019 and after January 1 2024, ALL firearms in that registry. A clear violation of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. Officers can pull this information up in their cars, based on your drivers license.
