A ban on the sale, manufacture and import of assault weapons in Washington state has passed through the Legislature and is now headed to Gov. Jay Inslee's desk. The House concurred with a floor amendment to House Bill 1240 that was added in the Senate, voting 56-42 to approve it. The amendment will allow gun manufacturers to sell inventory already in stock prior to Jan. 1, 2023, and only to out-of-state clientele for 90 days after the bill goes into effect. The bill does not ban the possession of assault weapons and allows for ownership by law enforcement and military service members, with an exception in cases of inheritance.
