News BREAKING NEWS: WA Supreme Court Commissioner formally grants emergency stay in Gator's Guns case
Today (April 25) — on the one-year anniversary of Washington's Assault Weapons Sales Ban — unelected Washington Supreme Court Commissioner Michael Johnston formally stayed the Cowlitz County Superior Court's standard capacity magazine ban ruling in the Gator's Guns case. The counsel representing Gator's Guns now has 30 days to formally object to the Commissioner's ruling via RAP 17.7 - Motion to Modify. Any motion to the Justices in the Supreme Court would either be decided by a panel of five Justices or by the full court. Otherwise, the magazine sales ban will remain in place until the state's appeal commences in the Fall.

News To everyone coming here to check for an update on HB1240 - WE NEED YOUR HELP RIGHT NOW
Here is the update: TIME TO GET INVOLVED
You need to get in touch with your State Senator right now and tell them:
The HB1240 amendment to allow military personnel deploying to WA to keep their gun is common sense and absolutely needed. Military folks aren't compensated enough to be able to afford to lose their guns or pay for storage out of State and deploying to our State shouldn't result in extreme hardship.
There are many problems with HB1240 and it could use additional time to consider other amendments, clarifying parts, understanding the impact on warranty repair and maintenance, ensuring FFL's can manage their inventory, avoiding issues with the "taking" clause under the 5th Amendment, avoiding the unintentional ban of common pistols / blocking the use of sound suppressors to protect hearing, waiting for guidance from the 9th Circuit on the applicability of Bruen, etc.
Recommend that they handle these issues in the next session since the bill has so many issues
P.S. the status is the House sent it back to the Senate to remove the military amendment creating this opportunity to kill or delay this bill. Senate may take it up as early as Monday so please act fast
