Frequently Asked Questions

Does Washington's new assault weapons ban only target rifles?

No, the Washington State 'assault weapons ban' is designed to include semi-automatic handguns. The law's broad definitions, particularly regarding features like detachable magazines, threaded barrels, and accessory rails, allow for handguns to be classified as 'assault weapons' under the new legislation.

What features can make a handgun an 'assault weapon' in Washington?

Under Washington's assault weapons ban, a semi-automatic pistol with a detachable magazine can be classified as an 'assault weapon' if it has one or more of the following: a threaded barrel, a second hand grip, a barrel shroud designed to shield hands from heat, or the capacity to accept a detachable magazine outside the pistol grip.

Why does the law use the term 'assault weapon' instead of 'assault rifle'?

The speaker suggests the term 'assault weapon' is used to broaden the scope of the ban. By not specifying 'assault rifle,' lawmakers can more easily include other types of firearms, such as handguns and shotguns, under the 'assault weapon' definition, thereby expanding the reach of gun control measures.

Does the 'capacity' to add a feature make a handgun illegal under the ban?

Yes, the law implies that the mere 'capacity' to modify a firearm or magazine to meet prohibited criteria can render it illegal. For example, if a handgun has a detachable magazine and the 'capacity' to accept a threaded barrel, it can be classified as an assault weapon, even if the threaded barrel is not currently attached.
