Bill Summary:

• AN ACT Relating to enhancing public safety by limiting bulk purchases and transfers of firearms and ammunition; amending RCW 7.80.120; adding a new section to chapter 9.41 RCW; and prescribing penalties.

What the Bill says:

• This bill creates a cap of 100 rounds of ammunition purchased if you are buying 50 caliber ammo, 1000 rounds if other calibers and only one weapon per 30 days by a dealer. 

Our Summary Opinion:

• While it is obvious that the majority of gun owners have a few things in common. A) They rarely purchase a gun, B) They rarely need more ammunition than what is allowed in this bill, C) They are good law abiding citizens. It is also obvious that their need to stay skilled at handling a weapon might require them to purchase more ammo in a 30 day period depending on the number of guns they currently own and need to practice with. There is nothing written in the state constitution nor the federal constitution that allows any restrictions like this. The state should not be requiring/keeping a record of either a gun sale nor an ammunition purchase under our state constitution. Therefore we recommend a no vote!
