The fact that it is inconvenient, ambiguous, poorly written, confusing, etc. is a "feature" not a "bug." The work around though is that you drive to Idaho, ship it from there, have it shipped back to Idaho, pick it up, drive back to WA. |

Senate has passed 11 bills today. I hope we don't get a "Friday Surprise" and they ambush us with a 1240 vote......
So far, no floor amendments have been made by the Republicans to 1240. Not sure why, as soon as it is one the calendar, they can propose amendments. Maybe waiting to the last minute before adding to keep the D's off guard? |

House and Senate are both now adjourned, Senate until 9:30 AM Monday, House until 1:30 PM Monday.
So we bought a few days.... |

My purchases are done, save for an extra set of muzzle shims. No idea if they’re part of the ‘parts’ equation.

View Quote William Kirk posted a video that he thinks the transfer of an item from an FFL to an individual should still be legal because the bill doesn't ban transfer OR possession, it actually only bans sale and distribution. So long as the transaction happened before the effective date then he thinks you're good to go even if the transfer happens after. HOWEVER he retracted that video because, although he thinks he's legally correct, a bunch of FFL's said that they would not be willing to take that kind of legal risk and fight a huge lawsuit to salvage a few days sales, and that his video was causing customers to make demands that they weren't comfortable with TLDR; respectfully talk to the FFL and see what their appetite for legal risk is. It may not be technically illegal for them to complete the transfer but it's not risk free either |

Question: If I have a stripped lower, do I technically need to assemble it into a firearm ahead of the ban for it count as grandfathered?
Specifically why - you have to show "provenance" for some of the inheritance use cases, as I understand it. To support that I'm taking photos of all my semi-auto's and going to find a way to timestamp them. This will prove I owned the gun before the ban. But for the stripped lowers if I take a photo of it as a stripped lower and that doesn't count that I could prove I'm *not* grandfathered. So I don't want to take the photo unless it counts. ETA: For clarity I have all the parts, upper and lower, just need to get off my lazy butt and put it together. |

Just for the record, I gave all my firearms to my kids a year ago. They subsequently gave them all to their children. I’m just safely storing them in my safe at the moment. So, FJI/FBF.

Quoted: As others have already said, it the SCOTUS does not strike all this down - they will kill the grandfather clause in next year's session in Olympia. We are not gaining anything by being silent and compliant while we are stripped of our rights. View Quote I am betting on this. As I’ve said before, 1639 was the precursor, the mag ban came next and now the current AWB - which previous iterations included no subsequent transfers/passing on and required registration. That came off, but WILL be back. All along, how many times have your heard FJI/FBF say ‘these weapons have no place in our community’. To me that is crystal clear they don’t even want you keeping what you already own. ETA: wouldn’t surprise me in the least if they also come back for mags, implementing the previously removed pieces around restricting where they can be used, as well as going for further limiting how many rounds you can load, if not outright banning ownership. |

This BS is beyond ridiculous This is the section: (d) The receipt of an assault weapon by a person who, on or after the effective date of this section, acquires possession of the assault weapon by operation of law upon the death of the former owner who was in legal possession of the assault weapon, provided the person in possession of the assault weapon can establish such provenance. So to inherit the gun the onus is on the heir to "establish" that the gun was lawfully owned by the person who willed it to them, it's an affirmative defense. Anyway whether you agree with what I want to do or not I want to understand if the stripped lower counts. |

But if they find your kids with what used to be your gun the law requires your kids to "establish" that you owned it before the ban. They need an affirmative defense. You can give them the gun without telling anyone but then they are at permanent legal risk unless you also give them proof of provenance. |

Quoted: As far as I’m concerned, everything I own was registered when I bought them. End of story. View Quote That works for YOU. Possession isn't illegal and it would be on them to prove any illegal transfer took place. If you aren't planning on handing down your guns I think you're gtg.

An NFA tax stamp or document transferring assets to a trust would do it. I'm going to take some photos. I think I've spent more time on this than it will take just to assemble the damn lower which was all my question was about |

There was one amendment, the crossing state line thing. Was there more added today? View Quote It sounded like they adopted another amendment that allows inventory acquired prior to January 1, 2023 to be sold or transferred outside the state. I could have details wrong though. I was listening off and on over the last few hours, and they kept mentioning parts of the new amendment as to why they would not accept other purposes changes. |
