Yes, and heaven forbid it has a detachable magazine.
The law did not address the issue of magazines, unfortunately. That may be on the agenda for 2020. The law passed by 60% when put before voters. WA was at one-time, I'm told, the highest per-capita NRA membership of all 50 states. In the past 20 years, we've had a great influx of highly intelligent, highly educated millennial tech workers.
Yes, that's correct. As I understand it (and I did read most of the 33-page law), any semi-automatic rifle is now classed as an 'assault rifle,' and subject to certain restrictions. The law just went into effect on July 1. It does not apply to hand-guns, except that the law does require all guns to be unloaded and securely locked up when not in use. This is just commonsense.
No, that is just stupid and does not allow for self defense.
In the eyes of the derelicts in Olympia, yes. The Sheriff in my county (and many others) have refused to enforce it, and there's a lawsuit against it still working it's way through the courts.

It's also unconstitutional. District of Columbia v. Heller found it is unconstitutional to require:
Quote:
residents to keep their lawfully owned firearms, such as registered long guns, “unloaded and dissembled or bound by a trigger lock or similar device”
Will criminals follow all these knee jerk useless laws?
