William Kirk of Washington Gun Law explains that while the 5th Circuit Court vacated the ATF's Frame and Receiver Rule (2021R-05F) in VanDerStock v. Garland, this federal victory has limited practical impact for Washington State residents. Existing state statutes, particularly HB 1705, impose near-total bans on the manufacture and possession of unserialized firearms, often defined as those lacking a federal licensee's serial number and manufactured after July 1, 2019. Kirk emphasizes that state law remains the primary governing factor for firearm regulations in Washington.
