In Washington State I’m pretty sure that a Marlin .22 is an “assault weapon”. It has the tube fed magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammo.
I wonder, with the tube magazine being a permanent feature of the rifle - will the gun tax be $200 plus an additional $200 for the magazine?
Also - this “tax” (on stuff folks already own) - is this a one-time feature or an annual thing? I’m guessing a one-time thing.
That will soon morph into an annual (and $300 tax next year.)
