Well, here's what the new law actually says:What forms of the AR15 can still be sold in WA after Gov signs HB 1240, single shots, rimfires, shotguns, etc?
This is followed by a giant list of specific firearm types, including the phrase(2)(a) "Assault weapon" means:
(i) Any of the following specific firearms regardless of which company produced and manufactured the firearm
The use of the phrase "in all forms" is intentionally broad, so it's really up to the lawyers to answer your question. A logical person would conclude it refers to semi autos only, but Inslee's prosecutors could probably argue that it covers any firearm built in the style of the AR platform, regardless of action type. Bear in mind, these people base their views on how a gun looks, and there is no reference to action type in the above statement.AR15, M16, or M4 in all forms
So... *Shrug* My guess is they will probably ignore other action types until they run out of people to prosecute, or until Inslee decides he needs another straw man he can point fingers at to distract the masses from how he is running the state into the ground.
