As of 11 PM last night any magazine over 10 rounds is now illegal. Of course the cock suckers had to pass the bill in the middle of the night. A big fuck you to the House and Senate.
 
and any semi-auto rifle is an assault rifle here.

it's all pretty typical :rasta:
Not only that, you need "safety training" before you can buy one. You have to take a class and pass an "enhanced" background checkbefore you can buy a 10/22 but you can walk out same day with a semi-auto 12ga
 
this includes ones that were purchased legally?

How is this not the government taking without compensation?

They aren't taking them, yet. No transfer/sale/distribution/manufacture of any kind. If you move here or come here for competition you can't bring normal mags with you. If I died after the ban is in effect my heirs can have the guns but not the standard capacity magazines. The only exception at this time is permanently attached tube magazines like a lever gun or Marlin 60.

Whatever you have on July first is what you've got till this gets thrown out or you move away.

Aisin so what’s the plan? Everyone turn in their “illegal” parts? Sit back and take it in the ass??
Normal capacity magazines are still legal in Nevada. We are currently fighting the 80% lower ban here. I’ve made more phone calls and sent more letters to my Capitol building than I care to remember. The government isn’t stupid. They keep pushing until someone gets fed up and has had enough. That will be their excuse to deem everything illegal. At that point there will be 200 million plus felons in the US due to government overreach. Once 90% of your citizens are felons due to the guns they posses all bets are off.

I love how these liberal dems cry about defunding the police, and then turn around and exempt them from the magazine laws they forced upon everyone else.
Well they wouldn't want to put their own armed security at a disadvantage. I listened to some of the debate leading up to this vote, the ignorance and double standards were astounding.
 
If I fill my PMags with 458Socom, they’re 10 round mags. Then I can take them when I go shooting with my WA buddies?
 
Really ?
Subject to a tax stamp ?
A select fire title II firearm ?

As that is what you are describing.

Tax stamp is federal, assault weapon is a state term. State assault weapons are subject to higher fees, regulations and time delays
 
You didnt say assault weapon as you can clearly see.

Didnt Rush Limbaugh say words mean things ?

An assault weapon is a political term also used by msm, assault rifle is a term associated with a full auto machine gun not a semi automatic firearm.

Not in Washington. Sorry, assault rifle. That's what wa calls every semi auto rifle.

Assault rifle isn't a federal term. Machine gun is. Machine gun means things and needs a federal tax, and I belive is non transfereerable in WA.

WA made law defining Assault rifle and taxes/restricts all semi autos rifles accordingly
 
NO use of the word semi

This will be a de facto ban for many models that don't have 10 round mag options.

If you plan on staying in WA, I'd buy mags for anything on your bucket list now. Some good deals on links out there. :cool2:

Even though our plan is to flee the state I still bought some drum mags. Never owned one, and can barely afford to fill one, let alone empty one, but I always wanted one. :laughing:

This is the first step of "taking our guns away". The next step is micro stamping for handguns, We can't even get Ruger Mark series pistols in this state (Ca).:mad3:
 
Seems like a business needs to develop 80% mags?
They included parts in the bill. I'll have to see after it goes into effect if I can still order springs come July. You'll still be able to get music wire and printer filament so manufacturing them isn't hard if you really want to.

I can make stendo Glock mags right now for 10 bucks or so if I buy the springs from Wilson Combat. If I wind my own springs it costs less than half that just more time.
 
If the mag had a cross pin at the 10 round mark that could be removed would that make it a part or a 30 round mag?
I actually don't care much, It's bullshit they banned em but if anyone still wants them they are going to get them.

can't stop the signal.

I get it, what you are missing is that the State of Washington created a law which says an assualt rifle is any semi-suto rifle.

that's just all there is to it.

so now we have fees and fines and penalties and waiting periods on them to rival the cost and hassle of buying machine guns in other states.
 
The feds defined the term assault rifle long ago before Washington's AW BAN was a gleam in their eye.

Most likely back in 1968 or some time between 1934 and 1968, they learned alot between those years, including exemption of a grand fathers WWII bringback that had an exemption and then wasnt because the 1986 paperwork wasnt filed in due time, back after WWII there wasnt a requirement to update your address with the war dept.

Maybe, but it isn't a legal federal term with any meaning. At the federal level, it is a machine gun small enough to be carried and shoulder fired by a single troop, which has zero legal bearing.

At the WA state level, it is a semi auto rifle and it does carry legal ramifications. Fines, fees, hoops, hassle, time periods, jail time etc

it's almost like states are free to enact their own laws regarding firearms....
