I would agree with all the Military presence in Pierce County. Here in Spanaway, home owners are armed and not afraid to excercise their right to self defense. IE.....home owner kills an armed intruder at 4am kicking in his door.
Machts nichts. It's who they send to Olympia that counts.
Yeah it's bad.
80%ers made on or before July 1, 2019 are NOT "untraceable firearms so you'll get to keep those for now.
Because I am in Idaho, none of this nonsense applies to me. Nonetheless, what is a 17 serial number and a serial number 24? Edit: While I am asking the preceding question, I'll ask another. When does some material become an "unfinished frame or receiver"?
Those are line numbers that got left in the copy/paste. It becomes unfinished when they're digging the material out of the ground..
OK, so it appears that all that would be needed is a serial number applied by a FFL. But since an 80% unfinished frame or receiver is not a firearm, it would appear that federal laws and regulations applicable to FFLs and firearm serial numbers are not applicable to these unfinished items and the FFL could apply any combination of characters to comply with WA law. Yes? How about "Jay Inslee is an Idiot"? I see a business opportunity here. I get my FFL and offer to apply whatever the WA customer wants as his or her serial number to an 80% frame or receiver the WA resident has sent to me. These items never go into my book because they are not firearms. The WA customer gets an invoice for application of a "serial number" to his or her unfinished frame or receiver. Now because these items are not firearms, it also appears that the federal requirements regarding firearm serial numbers (name, location , model, caliber and depth of marking) would not be applicable and the FFL could comply with WA law by merely attaching a Post-it note to the unfinished frame or receiver.Those are line numbers that got left in the copy/paste. It becomes unfinished when they're digging the material out of the ground..

Either Marxist or liberal idiots. They should be wary of unintended consequences, like Irwin Mann's hogs.
The WA customer may want a way to prove he got an FFL to apply the serial number so you should think about some sort of certificate of authenticity at least, to be given to the customer.
The first thing WA customers need to do is vote the proponents of these measures out of office. I know how hard a task that can be which is a good part of the reasons I moved from CA to ID. I was primarily trying to point how stupid the measure is, but if it comes to pass, I am game for getting my FFL. applying serial numbers and providing certificates.
And that's the goal, they want to shut down 80% by making the hoops impossible to jump through... like requiring a Federal tax-stamp for pot then refusing to issue the stamp.
This is why I've long advocated that the Activism subforum should be Registered Members in good standing ONLY, preferably with a minimum post-count and "time in service".
Your statement is correct but steps over what I suggested. I did not suggest that an unlicensed consumer finish an 80% kit and take it to an 007 FFL for a serial number. First, possession or purchase of the unserialized 80% would violate the proposed WA law. My suggestion was to have a FFL mark the 80% frame or receiver with a serial number. Thus, the consumer could purchase and possess the 80% frame or receiver under the proposed WA law. Federal law regulating how an 007FFL marks a firearm or receiver would not apply because the 80% frame or receiver is not a firearm. Nor would federal law apply to the consumer completing the 80% frame or receiver, so long as the consumer is completing the frame or receiver for his or her own use and not for sale.
