The passage of 594 was pretty much a Seattle/King County thing, just like homo marriage. East of the mountains, particularly, the rural counties want nothing to do with this stuff.
Yep. That's the sneaky part of the bill - "transfer" used to mean permanent ownership, not temporary physical possession. I could call the anti-gunners liars and cheats but it would only be redundant.
Cool, how about a monthly gun show at the capital of Washington state?
That would happen in NY or CT, not here.
It is.
Obama and his ego can’t let this stand.
More like.
” No one was hurt and no stores were looted. Between 1,000 and 3,000 lawful gun owners showed up———”

No looting?
White privilege again. :-)

OK...I know I should have said “all modern handguns” rather than “all guns.” But all modern handguns still require a background check, correct? The Brady Act and all that....
Frankly, I haven’t bought a gun since the 90’s....it’s all I can do to keep the ones I’ve got clean.... ;-)
“...........A handful of billionaires and elitists in blue cities like Seattle do not respect the Constitution nor represent the vast majority of Americans.............”
Same billionaires behind Obama trashing the rest of the Constitution as well. Them, and the huge International Corporations with no allegiance to this country, only to what they can extract monetarily from this country for their bottom line, their power, and their luxurious lifestyles.
Another scenario: If you’re out hunting and you lay your rifle against a tree to get over some obstacle and it slides to the ground your friend would be unable to pick it up and hand it to you. That would be considered a transfer under this .....
This is what I was told by a lawyer: Vertical transfers (father to son, daughter to grandma, etc.) are allowed. But horizontal transfers (son to nephew, etc.) are not.
It says a lot about federal law that there is so much murkiness here.
They’re going to wish they had worn masks.
“Private transfers and most gun show transfers did not require a background check prior to this new law in WA State.”
And that would be a violation of federal law.
FFL transfers at a gun show or a shop go through the background check. If the gun is in their logs, they better have a corresponding 4473 with the approval code from the NICS check.
Private transfers at a gun show, outside in the parking lot, or wherever, do not require a background check because it is just that, a private transfer. A non-FFl caught buying and selling guns as a business can be charged.
Just shared on FB. So glad there are Americans standing for their just rights out there!
Remember, the First Revolution started over gun control ...
No if you buy them through a licensed dealer a background check is required but if you sell or give them away yourself none is required under Federal Law. You are probably going to be in trouble if you sell or give one to someone you know to be a felon.
Per Federal Law: any interstate transfer (with few exceptions) must go through a FFL. Any sale by an FFL must be accompanied by a 4477. Private sales/transfers are not regulated by Federal law.
The Washington law was intrastate and was over and above the Federal statute, further regulating the transfer of firearms within the state.
Great to see! So violating the new law is a felony?
I would take issue with the assertion that “most law enforcement is pro-gun”.
When the Alabama legislature recently passed a law making it O.K to carry weapons on private property as long as the weapon was locked up, Sheriffs association as well as the usual anti-gunners were forcefully against it. Said there “would be blood in the streets”. Didn’t happen, of course.
I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that I don’t trust a damn thing law enforcement tells me. Distrust and then verify.
Yup,,,
“will not comply”
Good on Ya, left coast !
OK....it must be a California requirement....we’ve almost reached the guns are illegal stage, they’re working on it...sigh
