More amendments being made to 2240 as well.  Allowing use while hunting with existing mags

Lots of political gamesmanship no doubt...why don't they put these on the back burner and argue about other bills?

In the mean time run out the clock.

Keep up with calls, emails, etc.

The attempts to sneak them through is a clear indication that these bill are clearly understood to be turds with a significant % of the constituency.

Damn, Representative Young has been busy.  And trying to strike back at the state for this idiocy...  Good.

Is there a midnight cutoff, or do things go until the chamber collapses?

If we avoid a ban this year, don't let your guard.
This is a short session this year with a long session next.

These freedom hating socialists will continue to throw shit against the wall to see what sticks.
Just like the environmentalist groups did when trying to close the Centralia steam plant because of climate change.

After years of attempts, they banded their resources together and were successful in 2011.
One unit goes offline this year with the second due to shut down in 2025.

I would let Representative Jesse Young swing by the house and bang the gf. What a stud. I bet he has to carry around his balls in a wheelbarrow.

His amendments are literally an all out assault on the teeth of this thing. From what I gather with all the proposed amendments the end state of 2240 is that it's illegal to commit a felony with a high capacity magazine. That's about it.

Digger440, I’ve received your letter. You and I couldn’t disagree more on this issue. As a former law enforcement officer I hope and pray you never have to respond to a mass shooter with hundreds of rounds of ammo. As your representative I will do everything I can do to eliminate the chance that it ever happens in my legislative district.

Senator Van De Wege, Representative Chapman, and Representative Tharinger,

Approximately 25 days ago I sent the below email with an attached letter signed by 12 other law enforcement officers from my 24th district law enforcement agency. A printed copy of the letter was also sent to each of your respective offices through the United States Postal Service. In the previous email I requested a response which has not been received.

I am contacting you again because the SHB2240/SB6077 has been updated and I am urging you to vote no when the bill comes to the floor. The update to the bill does not change anything addressed in the letters you were sent.

There are several issues with this bill that will harm law enforcement should it pass. Washington state has no systems in place or plans to make one in order to register existing magazines. The burden on law enforcement, should one ever be implemented, would be extreme. Magazines are not serialized components making whatever registration scheme fallible at best.

Under SHB2240/SB6077 owners would have to prove that they owned the magazines before the the bill was passed. This is impossible and essentially criminalizes hundreds of thousands of Washington gun owners for not keeping receipts for items purchased that were legal to own at the time of purchase. Personally, I have never kept a receipt for a magazine and nobody that I  know has. Magazines are also not serialized components and only some manufacturers stamp date codes making definitive investigation for a court case impossible.

The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs Mass Shooting Work Group did not make a magazine capacity limit one of its recommendations for reducing mass shootings for good reason, because it will not work. Please hear your 24th district, commissioned law enforcement voters when it is said:
This would unduly burden law enforcement
Equal enforcement would be difficult to impossible
It criminalizes lawfully owned property
Scientific research has shown that this approach does not work to reduce violence (studies cited are in the letter sent to you)
Again, a response is respectfully requested.

The letter I posted in the goal post 1 thread from myself and 12 other law enforcement officers finally got a response from 24th district Rep Chapman it only took a printed copy and 2 emails

Quoted:
HB 2044 is on the floor for a vote.

SB 6077 is one step behind in rules and must be put on the floor.

Either are technically possible. But one has to pass a floor vote by EOD tomorrow or they both die short of chicanery by leaders to ignore cutoff dates and revive it.

2044 has had a bazillion amendments added which does make it the less like candidate. Presumably senators would do the same thing if Senate rules puts it on the calendar tomorrow but I don't think they can so long as it's still in committee. Let's just hope they both don't go anywhere tomorrow and they die.
