WA State - Changing restrictions on firearm noise suppressors

[zero7one]

Good news for WA State gun owners...If House Bill 1016 passes, RCW 9.41.250 will be amended to add the following...

(c) Uses any contrivance or device for suppressing the noise of any firearm unless the suppressor is legally registered and possessed in accordance with federal law,

I guess the Legislators will finally make some sense of allowing us to own and possess a suppressor but not being able to use them.

Never happen, makes too much sense! j/k
I hope it goes through.

I am not getting my hopes up, but it would be great if it did go through. I couldn't justify the purchase before, but now I could.

This just might make my year if it passes. That tax stamp may finally be justified. I guess we need to chat with our legislators if we want change. I must admit that I'm not overly optimistic, since the west side leans a little left, and rules the political roost, but here's hoping.

the west side leans a little left.

That's an understatement.

I have been considering one for my M&P 15-22 and this will seal the deal if it passes, lets hope.
