Washington state magazine ban

[peteNW503]

I have been watching the new/reading articles on this topic! Apparently Washington state is trying to pass a magazine ban for " high" capacity magazine. Which is BS because we all know there is no such thing as a high capacity magazine. Just another way of limiting your rights sad to see. I honestly think Portland will be next with trying to pass a similar bill in regards to limiting capacity based on the amount of shooting this year. What is your take on the situation do agree or disagree?

This has been going on for a while. Many gun owners support this so it will happen. Yes it is BS but, again the reason it happens is gun owners support it. It looks like this time it will pass in some form. For years after we will see people pop up to say "they just found out and boy are they mad". When you ask them how they voted? They will get mad again.

Not sure just how many firearm laws , bans , restrictions , etc are already out there and in place...
Yet people are still threatened / harmed / killed , by criminals using firearms.
Criminals , by their nature , disobey ...so why would another law , ban , restriction , etc...mean anything to them ?

Somehow this new magazine ban will do something all those other ones didn't...? What the F ever.

If you keep doing the same....or variations of the same...you will get the same results you always have.
If you want different results , you gotta try something different.

In any event....
I am not in favor of firearm bans , restrictions and the like , nor am I wanting any of the same for parts and accessories for firearms.
After all , there is that seemingly overlooked phrase in the 2nd Amendment : ..."shall not be infringed."

I didn't realize gun owners supported that I'm not sure why it would matter if you have a 10 round mag or 30 mag not my business.

Washington - NEXT PUSH: Call/email Dem reps, mag ban vote can happen!

HERE IS THE NEXT PUSH. We are making a difference! Let's keep up the fantastic momentum -- please do this NOW! The House could vote on the 10-round mag ban (SB 5078) at any time this week. Please continue to bombard all Democrat representatives with emails and phone calls, and ask them to...

There are quite a few threads on the topic.

Washington - ALL HANDS! Mag ban help!

I signed up as a con against the bill and waited through 45 minutes of the zoom hearing to not hear my name called to testify against the bill. Sad, because at 67, I am “grandfathered“ in with my multiple previously purchased standard capacity magazines, but for young people, if this bill...

My point being you can own a 10 round mag or a 100 round mag. Not having the option to choose is unconstitutional in my opinion. People need to stop trying to self police others and mind their own.

By "support" I mean those who ignore it, or worse keep voting for the people doing it too them. If gun owners do not actively go against this stuff they are supporting it. Several years ago WA voted in a new law to make things like a Ruger 10/22 an "Assault Weapon" . When you go to buy one here now you have to jump through extra hoops and an extra waiting period. Many gun owner only find out about this when they go to buy one now and boy are they mad. Of course when voting time comes along they do nothing. So they are supporting it and I hope they enjoy getting what they asked for.

I'll continue doing the exact same thing I have done for the past 10+ years.

Do they intend to have monitors at the range, demanding to see the pre-ban photo of your "grandfathered magazines"? GTFOH

They will not of course. As with ALL gun laws this is just one more step. A LOT will depend on how the new law that actually makes it to the books is written. So far everyone who makes claims is just guessing. No one knows what the new law will actually say. If people stay sleeping later the law makers will come back for another bite and make it worse. When they get to where they flat out say you can no longer own the mags? Then it becomes "you get caught with one, they can use it to hammer you".

Many ranges are operated by fudds who will police this themselves. Don't be a fudd.

Punishment controls criminals.
Laws control the non-criminal.

 

[2ndtimer]

This strategy is typical liberal. They will claim to have done something to reduce gun violence ( it won't), and then when it it doesn't, will claim the previous restrictions "didn't go far enough" and introduce even more unconstitutional laws for "public safety", until they achieve their real goal: complete power and control over an unarmed populace. Just look how well it is working in places like Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore and New York City.

Who's guessing? It's already written. Can it still get changed, yes, but not after it's approved.

I have to "assume" you know how laws are made? If not its simple to look up how its done. The law is not on the books yet so anyone saying how its going to work is guessing. Nothing is written yet that is a law, again its very simple to search for how this works. After king jay signs something into law, which he will, then it will be able to be looked at seriously instead of all the guessing going on here.
