OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington state House passed a ban on high-capacity magazines Friday night.
The bill passed 55 to 42. It will now move to Gov. Jay Inslee's desk, who has previously said he would sign it.
SB 5078 prohibits the sale of gun magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, along with the manufacturing, distribution, possession, import or purchase of high-capacity magazines in Washington state.
A high-capacity magazine is defined as an ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition, or any conversion kit, part or combination of parts that can be assembled to allow someone to carry more than 10 rounds.

Those who already own high-capacity magazines will be allowed to keep them.
Allowed, ALLOWED?
These laws are always sold as for 'public safety' when as we all know, criminals don't follow laws and they just restrict the rights of lawful gun owners.

How many high capacity magazines killed anyone? So you carry a bunch of 10rd mags. Difference?
The commie left has another toe in the door.
Notice those Ukranians carrying around the STD 30-round size.
And the US Supports Ukraine and the citizens, right?
Do they just need 10-rounders?
Bump!
New Mexico tried that nonsense here. Thankfully, a lot of New Mexicans, though they vote democrat out of habit, really like their hi-cap mags. None of my magazines have dates of manufacture printed on them. So how would they know when I bought them? Good luck with that.
as an ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition,
= = =
Do you know how many 22LR you can stuff into a 7-round 1911 magazine (capped off with a single 45ACP)?
More than 10! So they have the capacity to accept.
Doesn’t say they have to function.
So carrying 6 10 round mags is legal? Duh.
Clerk: “Sorry sir, we can no longer sell you 30-round magazines.”
Customer: “OK, I’ll take three 10-round magazines.”
Clerk: “That’ll be $37.90. Have a nice day.”
Idaho.
When I moved some of my dad’s estate from Washington it included a Glock 19 and two 32 round magazines. I call it the GTA option.😁
Welcome to Maryland!
Any idea if there has been an appeal and where it stands?
Just head to Idaho and buy a bunch. That is if gas isn’t 10/gal.
Politicians and journalists know NOTHING about anything weapons-related. There are many here who are clueless.
Someone should remind these clowns that Biden gave $85 billion of US military hardware to Middle East terrorists.
Coming soon... 5 round magazines.... followed by 2 round magazines....followed by black powder guns only..its just a question of time....
gun magazines are going to be limited to 25 pages.
