Most of these types of bills don’t pass in the legislature here in Washington state. HOWEVER, they can make the news and get some press, and then Bloomberg and Gates will push for it to be put on as a Referendum and put forth to the public (e.g. the “mob”) where crap like this does pass due to the ignorant sheeple.

A couple of years ago we had the referendum to ban gun transfers - which was hyped as a way to keep felons from buying guns from private sales. Actually, in the 18-page law, it bans the “transfer” of guns - I can’t even let my grown son shoot my shotgun at the range!

Thankfully all of us here in Washington State are law abiding citizens - nobody in two years has been arrested yet due to violation of this 18 page law. (That - or it is impossible to enforce!) Although I have heard that some gunsmiths won’t take new customers. (Giving your gun to the gunsmith entails a “transfer” - and then back again of course).

The Sheriffs here in E. Washington have ignored those 2 referendums. Complete lunacy.

I thought the bill allowed transfers at “Registered Ranges” (whatever those are).

Can a gunsmith “Register” as a “Range”

Hmmm. Can I register my kitchen stove (a range)?

I know. This is all sickening cr*p.
