What on earth is a "high magazine clip"?

It’s a term that someone that has ZERO knowledge of firearms uses, yet then starts (and contributes to) completely stupid threads and posts about said firearms

Gen. Ferguson would change that to 10 per weapon. That is still way too much, but it's better than nothing. He also wants to ban assault-style weapons, with a revised definition. The new law we just passed does not ban them, it just puts restrictions on sales.



Finally he wishes to ban 'ghost guns.' These are basically a terrorist's dream.

Unless a AR-15 is belt fed, there is no way 1000 rounds of ammo can be in the same magazine.


Agreed, to carry 30 + 30 round loaded magazines would be a allot of weight to carry.


Ghost Guns are pretty much worthless, the level of structure and stability of the plastic is no where at the level of what a company like Smith and Wesson or Glock can make in a polymer framed gun. The biggest part of the gun, that need the largest part of strength is the slide and barrel. Which are metal by the way. A plastic gun with a plastic barrel, will most likely blowup in one or few uses.


Plastic is most cases is just not able to handle the pressures that a handgun round will put out, let alone a rife.

Too bad. Owning a gun is a right, driving is a privilege.

Maybe, maybe not. Same would go with pepper spray or a whistle.

The chief of police in Republic has instructed his officers not to enforce the law, and this letter from the Spokane County prosecuting attorney to AG Bob Ferguson stating:

Contrary to your normal duty to defend laws of the state of Washington, since this law is void it is your duty to advise Washington citizens it is invalid and does not need to be obeyed. You should also advise all law enforcement agencies in the state that it should not be enforced.
