This. A thousand times this. The same thing will happen when IP 17 and 18 goes up for vote in OR.I got to see first hand tonight why we keep losing here. There are a LOT of shooters here. I have spoken to a bunch of them to let them know this finally passed. Most had no clue what I was even talking about. Had no idea this was a "thing". Then we wonder why we keep losing?
Tis is why I never buy guns, only receivers...
Possession is not illegal, if you legally possessed them in WA before being stopped. How is an officer going know that your magazines had not been lawfully possessed in WA before unless you volunteered that information and without that information there would be no evidence that a crime had been committed.
The best way to head this off is to prevent them from gathering enough signatures to put those on the ballot. Has anyone seen where they go to get signatures? Can't we go there too with some flyers indicating the top few reasons why signing is a bad idea?
Problem is it's hard to win an argument on facts when the other side can't muster any mental faculties beyond "but they SKEER me and make me pizz my frilly pink sissyb-tch panties!" *snort*
Most people don't think much about things unrelated to their lives. Someone walks up to a person who knows only what they see on TV about "gun safety" with a petition, maybe they sign. Flyers and a few conversations here and there about losing rights of self defense in today's "criminals are victims" mentality, you raise doubts. That is real to them. If you can raise doubts in peoples minds about gun bans, they may just say, "not interested" when the signature gatherer approaches them at the Saturday Market or some other public setting. You have changed a weak "sure, I guess I care about gun safety" to a weak, "maybe its not really gonna work". It can't hurt.
Four years Costco-free coming up in November. Phuq those phuq'rz...
That makes two.
Sounds like we need to ban out-of-state contributions.University of Commiforniya... suprise suprise.
Watch this guy and it will pretty well cover what was done. Legally? No. Now if someone did, and the mags were not date stamped, and they did not pay in some way someone could prove they bought them after the cut off? I guess. For anyone to actually get charged with this for a while they would have to be doing something else to get the attention of the people who want to enforce this. Still the "wise" thing to do is anyone here who wants some, buy them now before the cut off.
I would not go to OR to buy them. I would however go to OR to pick up my previously owned standard capacity magazine that I had at my favorite OR based gunsmith for the last few months as he was checking it for malfunctions. Yes Sir, I am not importing. I am returning with my legally owned magazine I previously took out of WA as is completely legal under this new law. Yes, my gunsmith was very busy and he had it a long time, even before the law came into effect.
Yep. That's what I meant.
I understand that this comment is "tongue in cheek".Traded my G19 for an Iver Johnson break-action, single-shot, 22lr today, that should keep me legal until the next legislative session
I understand that this comment is "tongue in cheek".
However....
I would trade my G19 ( if I had one ) for a Iver Johnson break action single shot .22LR...
With that said...
I have no issue with folks owning whatever firearm with whatever magazine capacity they wish.
I just happen to like single shot firearms.

I doubt any law enforcement officer would bother enforcing this unless they were bored, disliked the person, or needed to add additional charges to existing ones, but to answer your question - a lot of magazines have manufacture date codes molded into the body of the magazine.
