Washington State has passed HB 1240, an "assault weapons" ban that closely mirrors California's legislation. The bill bans firearms by name, including AK and AR types, and lists specific features such as detachable magazines accepting more than 10 rounds, barrel shrouds, and pistol grips. This ban extends to semi-automatic shotguns and rimfire rifles like the Ruger 10/22. The speaker argues that such bans violate Supreme Court precedent established in Heller and Bruin, which protect firearms in common use for lawful purposes. A potential avenue for relief lies with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is expected to rule on California's similar ban, potentially impacting Washington.
