I just saw a reference to Washington State online. Anyone care to give an update or rundown or any of the above?

See the link to see the gun control measures.

Supposedly it's changes to SBR, SBS, and other firearms laws.

Maybe that link is old and out of date. I am not sure. Hence I am asking.

Trying to keep track of gun control measures around the country.

NRA has a run down all of all current bills state by state. Download their NRA-ILA app.

Didn't know such a thing existed. I will look for it.

Thanks!

Right now the Legislative session is over tomorrow or tonight I believe. All gun bills right now are basically dead, except the one to raise the minimum age to 21 to buy a rifle.

Thanks man. I have called my Rep already and got a reply, and I called and wrote to one of our Senators (Cornyn), but that is on a National level. All these state bans and rules and stuff still scare me so I am keeping tabs as best as possible.

http://www.guns.com/2018/03/07/washington-latest-state-to-ban-bump-stock-devices-video/ At least they showed respect and followed the constitution regarding Article 1 Section 10 on Ex Post Facto Laws. Massachusetts on the other hand did not and I am sure litigation will follow. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/01/16/surrender-bump-stocks-massachusetts/

"An ex post facto law is considered a hallmark of tyranny"

"No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility."
