Wa state bill to ban possession of assault weapons

[middlefinger]

.

On January 11, Washington state representative Jim Moeller (D-49th) introduced legislation to ban the possession of “assault weapons” in the state.

Moeller’s definition of an “assault weapon” also includes any semiautomatic pistol “that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine.”

In addition to pistols that accept detachable magazines, HB 2354 defines a “assault weapon” as:

A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a 27 detachable magazine and has one or more of the following: A pistol grip or thumbhole stock; Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that 30 can be held by the nontrigger hand; A folding or telescoping stock; A shroud attached to the barrel, or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel; A semiautomatic pistol, or a semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire rifle with a fixed magazine, that has the capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition.

And it also includes semiautomatic pistols that accept detachable magazines.

The bill also covers “semiautomatic shotguns” with any of the following features:

A pistol grip or thumbhole stock; Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the nontrigger hand; A folding or telescoping stock; A fixed magazine capacity in excess of five rounds; or an ability to accept a detachable magazine; A… revolving cylinder; or a conversion kit, part, or combination of parts, from which an assault weapon can be assembled if those parts are in the possession or under the control of the same person.

Moeller’s “assault weapons” ban was introduced on the same day that Democrat state representatives in Georgia introduced an “assault weapons” confiscation bill in their state.

Taken together, both bills came less than a week after President Obama went around Congress for unilateral action on gun control.

I would like to pass a law that states, All brain dead liberals need to be hung by a rope immediately.

It also bans almost all pistols.

Isn't there a bill like this in almost every state? Not sure if it is news or not.

[Statkowski]

I'm sure this law would be complied with as well as the previous anti-gun laws recently passed in the State of Washington.

It also bans almost all pistols.

Pretty much why no one really gives a shit anymore the "Shock and Awe" is all but gone and it's just another day in the lives of a clueless America hating liberal with an agenda.

WA state has gotten so full of progressives, free loaders and serial killers....who know it will most likely pass.

Bills like this are going to be introduced in every state as the urban regressives seek to dictate policy and crush rights. Unfortunately, you have enough of the population in the Seattle metropolitan area and Olympia to railroad the rural citizens who want none of it. That is what happened in NY with their unSAFE Act. Same is true in NJ, CT and MD. That is why we have some rights that cannot be infringed so that tyranny of the majority cannot prevail when it comes to those key rights. The Constitution is supposed to protect us, but at the end of the day, it too is a piece of paper that tyrants will shred it they can.

A semiautomatic pistol, or a semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire rifle with a fixed magazine, that has the capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition.

If you count 22 short capacity how many classic 22 rifles does this little gem include!!

Hopefully sanity will prevail.
