Washington “Assault Weapon” Ban Impacts All Firearm Owners" :shock:

Senate Bill 6396, legislation that would bring California-style gun-control to the Northwest and ultimately ban many semi-automatic firearms commonly owned by Washingtonians.

In fact, SB 6396 is more far-reaching than it appears on the surface and will absolutely impact a gigantic swath of Washington firearm owners, including concealed pistol license holders, hunters and competitive pistol shooters. As examples, consider the following restrictions that flow from the provisions of this horrendous piece of gun control legislation:



Ø Every semiautomatic AND PUMP-ACTION rifle and shotgun that has a detachable magazine and has a pistol grip located rear of the trigger (yes, that is just about all of them) is defined as an “assault weapon” and is banned under SB 6396!

Ø If you and your child/children are out in the woods plinking with his or her Ruger 10-22 and there are more than 10 rounds in the magazine, you are a FELON!

Ø If you are a Concealed Pistol License holder and your semi-auto self-defense pistol contains more than 10 rounds, you are a FELON!

Ø The use of firearms defined as “assault weapons” (see first bullet point) are banned for use in hunting!

Ø Competitive shooters will be impacted as any semi-auto pistol that has a detachable magazine and is equipped with a muzzle brake or compensator is defined as an “assault weapon!”

Ø If you own a firearm(s) defined as an “assault weapon” on the date this bill becomes law, you can keep it if you are willing to allow your Sheriff to come into your home once every year to ensure you store your firearm(s) appropriately!

I never understood why civilians plunk down $1000 for something that shoots a 55 grain .223 cal bullet. Can't hunt with 'em.
If the Army adopts the 6.8 Spc it will be much more effective for what the M-4/16 is intended for.
The only prior military weapon I would consider for hunting is the M-14 (the .308 kind).
Or maybe some of those fireball arrows Rambo had.

An M-40 (Remington 700 .308) would be good for hunting. Much more economical than a M-82.

Yup, I need a lefty version. I'm left eye dominant so I lean towards the ambidextrous equipment.
Like this:
.444 Marlin, an improved version of the old 45-70 Govt.

I'm only a "once in a while will go to the range with his friends and fire a handgun" guy but I am glad to see someone broke down of whats affected.

Although, I wonder sometimes what a normal person would do a true assault weapon outside of law enforcement use.
