On Monday, January 25, the committee will consider Senate Bill 5078, a measure that will ban the manufacture, possession, sale, transfer, etc. of magazines that “are capable of holding” or hold more than ten rounds of ammunition. This includes conversion kits or parts from which any such magazine may be assembled. These so-called “high capacity” magazines are in fact standard equipment for commonly-owned firearms that many Americans legally and effectively use for an entire range of legitimate purposes, such as self-defense or competition. Those who own non-compliant magazines prior to the ban are only allowed to possess them on their own property and in other limited instances such as at licensed shooting ranges or while hunting. Prohibited magazines have to be transported unloaded and locked separately from firearms and stored at home locked, making them unavailable for self-defense. Any violation of this measure is a gross misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 364 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
On Tuesday, January 26, Senate Bill 5038 will be considered by the Senate Law and Justice Committee. As drafted, the bill makes it a crime to openly carry, on the person or in a vehicle, a firearm or other “weapon” if the person is participating in or attending a “demonstration” in a public place. “Demonstration” is loosely defined to mean any behavior by at least one person expressing views or airing grievances that is intended to or attracts an unspecified number of onlookers (a “crowd”). The bill also prohibits openly carrying a firearm or other weapon within 1,000 feet of a demonstration in a public place after a law enforcement officer advises the person to leave. The intent of the bill is called into question because a single person expressing their views on the sidewalk could be considered a “demonstration” under SB 5038. Senate Bill 5038 potentially causes those who are engaging in otherwise lawful activities to become criminals because of the actions of others.
Again, please contact members of the Senate Law and Justice Committee and ask them to OPPOSE Senate Bill 5078 and Senate Bill 5038.

You would think reasonable people would be more concerned about the citizens who are destroying business, burning others property, interfering with the freedoms, and general bad behavior while peacefully demonstrating for the past year would be of a higher importance than chasing another anti-gun policy which only effects honest citizens who aren’t breaking the law.
Wake up America you need to stop electing these idiots who waste taxpayers monies for their own agenda.
Ban this, ban that, zero tolerance, prohibit this, forbid that, disallowed now, outlawed just because We and I said so, and the deprivation of rights list goes on and on. Enough is enough.. Ya’ll got some serious mommie issues that need to be worked on. Serve not Rule…

That is unless you are BLM OR ANTIFA I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t be enforced even after the fact the paid actors did their job and biden doesn’t need them anymore.
I don’t think any of us Patriots living in WA state should worry too much. Just stay away from Seattle and if you are not into doing illegal acts like robbing stealing, murder, asassinations, rioting, etc.,they will never know or care……besides…what do we have to lose at this point, anyways? WA has proven they are incapable of enforcing any laws at all, good or bad.
Damn it ! Names of the Sponsors of these “bills” is absolutely necessary!!
Washington state has another restriction that is even more diabolical. They have already banned offering insurance that would cover defense and liability costs related to the LEGAL use of a firearm.
I met and married my wife in Washington when I was in the Air Force. Later we bought our first house in Spokane. Always had plans to return to Washington after I retired from the Air Force. Changed our minds after Washington was taken over by the Communists. That is a shame, Washington is a very beautiful state, to bad it has been ruined by left wing wackos.
He/she is just phishing for your info. These people are sorry assed bunch of jerks trying to scam you!
Both of these new bills make a lot of common sense to braindead liberal communists. These people have no shame. They’re not even trying anymore to pretend their ideas have anything to do with “saving lives”.
