Frequently Asked Questions

What is the status of HR 1808, the Assault Weapon Ban of 2022?

HR 1808 passed the House of Representatives and is now in the US Senate. It requires 60 votes to pass, meaning it needs unanimous support from Democrats and 10 Republican defectors. The speaker believes it has a low chance of becoming law in its current form.

How does the Supreme Court's Bruin decision affect Second Amendment cases?

The Bruin decision established a new, one-part test for Second Amendment cases: does the restriction infringe on the Second Amendment? If it does, it's unconstitutional. This replaces the previous two-part balancing test and is expected to lead to challenges against many existing gun control laws.

What is the definition of a 'loaded' firearm in Washington State?

Under RCW 9.41.010 subsection 21, 'loaded' means a cartridge is in the chamber, or in a clip locked in place, or in a cylinder of a revolver, or in a tube or magazine that's part of the firearm. The speaker questions the statute's use of 'clip' versus 'magazine'.

Can growing marijuana affect firearm ownership rights?

Federal law prohibits illegal users of controlled substances from owning firearms. While growing marijuana is illegal federally, if an individual grows it but does not use it, they may still be able to own a firearm, as the prohibition targets users and addicts.
