Democrat lawmakers in Washington State will consider an assault weapons ban this week, as well as an end to ammunition magazines holding 11 rounds or more.
They legislation they are weighingHouse Bill 2241also tucks in .50 Cal. Rifles under the assault weapons moniker, banning those rifles alongside AR-15s.
KIRO7 reports that January 20-21 are the days on which committees will consider the bans.
The text of HB 2241 makes clear everything from an AK-47 or AR-15 to a SKS and Barrett .50 Cal M107A1 would be prohibited, as would a semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
In other words, .50 Cal rifles longer than 30 inches would be banned and rimfire rifles under 30 inches would also be banned.
As for magazines, HB 2241 defines a high capacity magazine as an ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition, or any conversion kit, part, or combination of parts, from which such a device can be assembled if those parts are in the possession or under the control of the same person.
On January 13, 2020, Breitbart News reported Gov. Jay Inslee (D) was pushing the assault weapons ban and the ban on magazines holding 11 rounds or more.

Hoplophobia is a political neologism, coined by retired American military officer Jeff Cooper, to describe an "irrational aversion to weapons." It is also listed as a phobia in some medical dictionaries as a "fear of firearms", or the "fear of armed citizens."

The last anti gun legislation passed here is being ignored on a wholesale basis, as will this piece of garbage.

I just last week bought another handgun in Yakima.
It was the first time ever here in Washington state that I couldn't take it home same day, even with a CPL. (F***ing Olympia) 🤬

I remember when that rat arnie, gov of kalifornia, outlawed the 50 cal. I guess there were a lot of drive by's using a $12,000, 30 pound rifle (+ night vision scope) and using ammo at $5/round.
Stupidity knows no limits.

The assault weapons ban in 94 made bayonet lugs illegal.
I dont recall there being a bunch of drive-by bayonetting happening back then.

Under 30”?
The most popular .22 rimfire rifle on the planet is 18.5”. You couldn’t even MANAGE to confiscate them all, there’s so many. You’d be finding them under sofas and in the back of closets and attics for 100 years.

“Why?”
Because .50 Cal. rifles are a threat to “leaders” riding in limousines. Also they are known to be able to shoot down airliners. No one has a “need” for such a weapon except for law enforcement, of course. Adding the /s for those who need it.

They are also proposing to make a license requirement to buy ammunition...including shotgun shells.
In other words, making owning and using a firearm legally nearly impossible.

They want to ban whatever they think you’ll use on them when the sheeple have had enough of their $hit.
