There is zero chance that WA legislature will vote to ban the AR-15.
I wonder if it did pass if Gov Inslee would sign it. Jay lost his eastern Washington Congressional seat in 94 because of the Clinton era Assault Weapons Ban.

Ferguson is posturing. Everyone is loving his lawsuit against Comcast. This Assault Weapons thing is good for the base, but not the general electorate. There are no official term limits in WA, but 8 years is the tradition. Ferguson is looking over the horizon to 2020.

After all, you're still generously "allowed" to own other guns .... for now anyway.

So "technically" they aren't really banning guns, just one particular type of gun. See how that works?

Then they can all start being concern trolls about those deadly "sniper style" rifles with scopes and high power ammunition.

...the one that seems most able to kill many in a single event.
...the one that's used most often to kill.
...the one that's easiest to hide.
...the one that could shoot down a jet.
...

Their goal of eventual disarmament is pretty obvious.

Here on DU the mask slips from even the most "reasonable" gun control supporters. You know, the "I own guns" ones and the "I have an FFL C&R license" guys. They just know all their guns are all OK, because they own them. But the rest of you people ..., well you could snap at any moment and can't be trusted.

The good news is they have been working from that same 1984 edition of their failed playbook for 2 decades now, with no success. In fact, the harder they have pushed the more people that are in the stores and have changed their overall thinking about gun control.

Now Bloomie has turned his fascist Millions of $ to the states, to try and find the weak points and point to it as a some kind of harbinger of national will and future success.

Hell, in Bansalot they get ape shit excited any time some back bencher proposes something that doesn't have a snowball's chance of even getting out of committee.

They're like the Washington Generals, always hoping for that big win, but always falling really short and just looking foolish when Meadowlark or Curly dribbles between their legs.

unequivocally condemn this op-ed as an infringement on rights they recognize.

damn hard to tell the diff.

After the expiration of the non-ban, rifle crime homicide continued its long decrease, eventually reaching its lowest point in many decades a couple years ago. Rifles are consistently the least misused of all weapons in the United States.

This shows Everytown/Bloomberg's true colors, though. For a couple of years, they've been pretending they don't really want to ban popular guns, just make sure bad people are screened before purchase, etc. Now the mask comes back off.

just submit a written notarized request to Mike Bloomberg and Shannon Watts personally then wait for the sun to rise in the west.

In the meanwhile watch them flip more seats to Republican, and other great gun control victories.

Meaning "pulled it all out of their ass".
