NRA-ILA writes: The 2018 Washington Legislative Session convene on Monday. The Senate Law & Justice Committee has indicated it will hold a public hearing on multiple gun bills next Monday, January 15 from 10am -12pm. The committee agenda has not yet been posted for which bills will be heard. However, anti-gun legislators have already made it clear they are going to push several sweeping gun control bills this year.
Senate Bill 5050, sponsored by Senator David Frockt (D-46), and House Bill 1134, sponsored by Representative Strom Peterson (D-21), would prohibit all possession, purchase, sale or transfer of commonly owned semi-automatic rifles and ammunition magazines holding ten or more rounds.
Senate Bill 5444, sponsored by Senator Frockt, and House Bill 1387, sponsored by Representative Laurie Jinkins (D-27), would impose a registration-licensing system for commonly owned semi-automatic rifles and ammunition magazines holding ten or more rounds.
Senate Bill 5463, sponsored by Senator Frockt, and House Bill 1122, sponsored by Representative Ruth Kagi (D-32), would require individuals to lock up firearms or potentially face Class C Felony charges. This intrusive government legislation invades people’s homes and forces them to render their firearms useless in a self-defense situation by locking them up.
Senate Bill 5992, sponsored by Senator Kevin Van De Wege (D-24), would make it a crime to knowingly possess a firearm accessory or any other device, part or combination of parts that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm.
Senate Bill 6049, sponsored by Senator Frockt, would prohibit the possession of ammunition magazines holding ten or more rounds, with limited exceptions.
It’s imperative that Second Amendment supporters make their voice heard during these hearings and throughout the legislative session. If you are able to, please plan to attend the committee hearing in Olympia on January 15th.
Liberal gun laws are completely asinine and all they do is prevent people from protecting themselves and their family. I am happy I live in a state that doesn’t try to dictate what I do in my own home. Consequently, our guns are loaded, ready to shoot and close at hand. No, we have no children, so that is a factor, but even when I had kids at home my guns were always ready and my kids knew what they were and how to safely use them.
Of course, the other issue here is why anyone would be stupid or irresponsible enough to own pit bull. The breed should be eradicated. Now, of ahead, pit bull fan boys, flame me. But facts are facts,. The breed is a menace.
This from another hypocritical movie actor who got rich making movies where he killed lots of people with guns. He’s a wormy dweeb who makes his living pretending to be something he isn’t.
I buy Stag Arms, Ruger, H&K, Walther, Glock, Kel-Tec, NAA, Rossi lever guns and own a few OLD Smiths…don’t plan on wandering too far outside of those brands.
No Hi-Point, Charter arms,Honor Defense, Taurus, Springfield, RRA, new Smith & Wesson (until the Hillary hole goes away) or Chiappa for this guy.
Time for everything east of the coast range to secede in order to uphold the Constitution.
Coast range won’t cut it. Make that Cascades and Sierra Nevadas
I think eastern Oregon and eastern WA need to get together and form a new state
She single handedly blocked campus carry and open carry this year
I can only hope that this ends her chance to become mayor of Miami
Even Democrats will have a hard time trusting her to do as she says
We will have to reintroduce these bills (again) next year and get them to the Senate floor for a vote
H&K, because they hate us civilians and don’t even bother to email me or tell me in person they hate me…..
But good lord are they great guns….who am I kidding I’ll buy more I can’t stay made at you H&K, please make me a single stack 9mm and I’ll love you long time!
I will not buy the Illi-noise 2A sell outs, Honor Defense after almost buying one today and then reading through here that they knew they had safety issues and not to mention the CEO is a tool in his comments on these blogs (veteran status only gets you so far, especially with other vets dingus), I won’t buy from countries where I can’t drink the water either so South America can suck it.
I guess I don’t have a no-go list of gun companies. What I am sick of is the raging shit storm of 1911 knockoffs, AK/AR clones, and polymer striker fired pistols. I walk through a gun show and that’s 90% of what I see. Jeez, people. Enough already! Learn to think outside the box.
A lot of companies have made dumb moves which didn’t improve their image. I’m thinking of Colt dropping their revolvers and relying on military contracts (which then dried up). And HK flubbing a good following in the US by not courting the civilian market.
A lot of different firearms have run, walked and strolled through my safe. Some stayed around for a while, and some have been in there for 40 years. I like good equipment; stuff that works, and I’m always looking for something better to fill a niche.
In 2015 I identified a new niche, long range rifle, and filled it with a TRG-42. And last year the Sig Sauer MPX-9C filled the camp carbine niche previously held by an Uzi carbine. But after all these years of fiddling with guns that sort of thing doesn’t happen very often.
It’s not made of crayons, so it should last the Marines for decades.
Ya know: once everyone’s a criminal, you have to pay/kiss their *ss to stay out of prison… That’s a feature, not a bug…
You gonna pull them pistols or whistle Nirvana?
If it does not turn like with happen with a Toad, shut up and take my money.
Holy heat affected zone Batman
As TIG guy I’m not terribly impressed by the welds either. Now, I don’t doubt they’re more than sufficient, but I’ve done better hungover on a Saturday.
Wonder if they’re hiring…
Does the airsoft cost more than the real deal?
“There are gunnies who will never forget Smith & Wesson’s capitulation to the forces of gun control — including the addition of the so-called “Hillary hole” lock on Smith’s revolvers. Despite the fact that Smith’s British management are long gone.”
Then why don’t they alter their machining to eliminate the “Hillary hole”?
Unless I missed something, a 1 year old kid and a pit bull were in the kitchen, when the dog attacked the kid.
1. Why is a 1 year old unsupervised?
2. Why is a 1 year old occupying the same space as a pit bull? Was it alone in a high chair? or in a walker, or swing? Unsupervised?
I’m not sure why this is even on a gun site. This story is almost about a guy in a panic while the kid he ignored got maimed by his loving dog, managed to shoot himself, his dog and his daughter. Fortunately, this story isn’t that tragic, but only slightly less.
To me, this is a parenthood FAIL! This isn’t the dogs fault, a dog is an animal, and we can’t control them. This isn’t a chihuahua either, it’s a dog so powerful, large and uncontrollable that the owner couldn’t drag the dog off the kid TO SAVE THE KIDS LIFE. An old lab could sit on an unsupervised 1 year old and suffocate the baby in a few minutes. The ultimate responsibility for the kid’s well being is with the parents, who were slackin, and the kid ( and dog ) paid dearly for it.
But does it take Glock mags?
The artists in this show give a damn about good gun LAWS. Many of them are also gun owners (me too). Work in this show is meant to raise specific awareness about 2nd amendment rights and citizen responsibilities. Since many of you have already commented, it looks like maybe at least it is raising an eyebrow, am I right? The show was supported by law enforcement, trauma surgeons who work on the results of accidental and criminal shootings, survivors of shootings and politicians on both sides of the aisle. Furthermore, these guns have been legally disabled under the watch of the City of Pittsburgh’s SWAT commander and chief armorer who asked me to organize this show. By law, they are no longer considered weapons. This show is not intended to be anti-gun and the point is not to get rid of guns, rather to come together to pass responsible laws that will protect all of us. (kind of like the laws that regulate automobiles, right?) Most gun owners I’ve spoken with agree that good gun laws, mandatory background checks and education lead to better safety. Also harsher punishments to criminals who possess or use weapons in crimes. Or that they stole or bought illegally. Also Felons or those convicted of Domestic Violence offenses should not have the privilege to have guns. That’s where I’m coming from!
Does anyone make 80% MP5 receivers?
These revolvers in 10mm are getting harder to find and at least from my luck they are not cheap. They are consistently running $1500 plus. They are fun to shoot and are unique.
Some people like myself like the guns that were really not that popular ie Colt American 2000. It is just what you want. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else except yourself. It is your money spend it the way you want
I’m confused about Springfield’s new guns and what their angle is lately…I mean they introduced the XDe, essentially a hammer fired XDs, which is ok because it gives people that don’t like striker fired an option for an XD. I just wish their next announcement would have been an XDs 2.0 using the Grip Zone frame texture that the XDe has.
Instead they announce this 911…a carbon copy of not only the SIG P238 but also the Kimber Micro 380. I’m not saying this won’t be a quality firearm, because I’m sure it’ll be very nice like every SA I’ve ever handled, just don’t see the niche market needing another one.
With other companies advancing with firearm designs…I’m thinking the newly announced SIG P365 which is a very small EDC gun with specs that rival the Glock 43 and Walther PPS M2, but offering two 10 round magazines and a 12 round extended mag, and it’s only 1” wide…I see this as SA retrogressing.
Didn’t Strike Industries tease an upgraded MP5 upper at last Shot Show? After the PSAK GB2 fiasco I’d rather throw my money at SI…
Then again SI also teased P320 grip modules on FB and they haven’t mentioned them since so I’m not holding my breath. It’ll be a happy surprise if it comes to fruition.
No firearm has ever taken a life, but it may have been used by a person who took a life.
Not crazy or unrealistic, it is going to take another civil war to purge the tyrannical Anti-Constitutionalists from our government. Government knows well they have over-stepped their boundaries. Do you think all this disarmament crap is to prevent crime when they’re importing criminals and terrorists by the thousands. It is about limiting your ability to overthrown the treasonous. It is hard to revolt against a government possessing WMDs(yes aircraft and tanks ARE WMDs) with sticks & stones.
If you live in WA, and want to keep your right to beat arms, you need to help oppose it. Otherwise, you’ll end up like us in California: completely at the mercy of the state to decide if we’re criminals or not for trying to exercise our Second Amendment Rights.
Anything made by I.O. aka Interordnance; their stuff is shit, their customer service is horrible and their owner touts his products on forums under pseudonyms…I have a I.O. Hellcat .380 a true POS aka paperweight. Taurus, I liked my 24/7 OSS Tactical in .45; I sent it back for the evaluation and extended warranty, that was in Oct of 2017. Their CS is a joke and rumor has it all guns sent in are being replaced with a 9mm PT111 G2 in brown… RRA and SA for their implication in Illinois carve-out and Honor Defense because they copied the mechanism of the P320 and just don’t give a shit about making it drop safe.
Interesting. However, here in commie kaliforna ain’t going to happen. Freedom and liberty is DEAD in this TYRANNICAL cesspool.
WARNING AMERICA. Kalifornia is like an STD. Infectious and spreads.
Politically? I won’t buy Springfield Armory or Rock River Arms. Smith and Ruger paid the price and made amends.
Quality wise? I won’t buy Taurus, as I’ve read too many stories of poor quality control combined with poor customer service. No SCCY, as I hate their triggers and quality is suspect(though CS is exemplary,I understand). No Honor Defense. No Century AKs.
I stick to quality manufacturers who, to my knowledge, haven’t screwed the customer. Glock, Kahr, Bushmaster, HK(I know they hate us but damn their quality is high).
Just like my iPhone that may have been assembled by a FOXCON worker shortly before he flung himself off a balcony to his death?
They also banned the trapshooting team from having guns in their pictures.
Reaction was swift and, as you see here, national.
They’re going to revisit the idea at the next meeting.
Best guess is they’ll let the varsity shooting team photos back in and keep the senior pictures out.

Carry a glock 36 on a regular basis. The gun is accurate, thousands of rounds without a malfunction reliable and easy to conceal. Paid $525 for it. I don’t need to spend $1300 to make a fashion statement.
You remind me of the guys who drive Fords all their lives and don’t understand why anyone would pay twice as much for a car. It’s sort of a pity those people never get to experience what it’s like to operate a truly well engineered automobile.
You should at least understand that shooting an all-steel pistol with a sweet, icicle-break single action trigger is a wholly different experience from shooting a polymer framed, striker-fired Austrian wonder.
That is not to say that you should replace your Glock. Glocks are tools designed to do a job, and they do it well. But it would be a shame for any shooter to live his entire life not knowing that difference.
Tyrants love to ban things. It’s what they do.
If you parents are not willing to break up these little fiefdoms that you pay to send your crumb crunchers to, expect more of the same.
And don’t expect it to end with firearms.
Handguns locked in metal file cabinet in my office. Husband built wood rack next to file cabinet for cases the handguns came in plus extra ear and eye protection in a closet with doors removed.
When we put our house on the market, will revert back to being upstairs office/bedroom.
When we had a new roof installed, kept the window that shows the wood rack, with blinds closed.
Don’t need workers on roof to look in and think “guns”
Self defense handgun is wedged between seat and arm of recliner. If I go downstairs, move SD handgun into pants pocket. I dress around Concealed carry with Cargo pants since tend to have larger pockets. Concealed must work since no one has ever noticed
Retired, no more skirts, dresses or high heels, Life is grand!
Not really hidden…shotgun stashed behind the bedroom door. My other guns are right next to me. If everyone is away they’re put in a difficult to access draw. As I add to the stash I’m looking into a safe.
Nm that the explosion of airsoft comes in this same time frame. Im sure the overall # is probably statistically decressing
Bonus Feature:
If you do actually have a DGU with it the Police Chief’s wife has a really nice new gun to tote around!
Full retard.
What’s the ‘pode’ part.
There is no excuse for criminal activity. This is a paid internship. A paid internship gets you experience in a field so you can choose to pursue it. It gives you experience with people in that field who manage, direct, coach, and possibly recommend the intern for hire.
The interns, post internship, have an advantage over their peers in the job market because they now possess experience and the time spent documented on their resume’. Recommendations on this resume’ will show the quality of the applicant’s work habits.
There is no excuse for criminal activity. Actual enforcement of laws would limit who is disturbing society.
TAKE MY MONEY!
