    The only reason I know this is because I’m only interested in one particular firearm and I want to move to WA, but how are you planning to defend yourself with HB1240 in place?

    I get that in peace time, 10 bullets per mag and no assault weapons is a generally good policy. But what happens MAGA decides to try to take WA by force?

    In the part I haven’t looked up, does WA have a state militia that is not the national guard?

    Additionally, you can purchase "parts" bags/kits which are marketed as "repair accessories" for 11+ rd magazines(usually 30 rds for 5.56 and 7.62). These somehow skirt around the law from my understanding. You're buying the complete mag, but assemble it yourself.

      In a burning house with three people, one is fighting the fire, one is pouring gasoline on everything and one is on the couch watching TV.

      Let's add a 4th person in there, someone who thinks they're helping by doing nothing but yelling that the fire isn't allowed to burn things

        More like yelling at the one fighting the fire because they're getting the carpet wet

          Just get something fairly common and a 10rd compliant mag.

          Much of hb1240 also only applies to sales and imports, but doesn't ban ownership, so you can still have an ar-15 for example if you buy before you move.

          There's plenty of higher capacity shit in the rest of the US, if it comes to a point where you need them, they'll make their way in. Just reach hook up with your local branch of the SRA when you move there.

          WA does have a state guard, but it's like 50 people iirc.

            We have a 24 hr billionaire backed propaganda news channel that for some weird reason Americans watch the most. The other main stream news is propaganda light. The few truthful news organizations are nowhere near as well funded and they’re being targeted and silenced by trump and musk. All of our major social media platforms have turned far right facist and we have tons of billionaire backed podcasts devoted to radicalizing young men. I think it’s too late for us but the question is will the facist billionaire cancer spread to Canada and Europe.

              Very understandable, especially since the president still owes your state half a billion dollars for massive financial fraud - for which he didn't even go to prison. What actually happened to there?

                About half the country is completely checked out of politics, most of them probably know Trump's president, but uh, good luck getting accurate answers about anything else, only 47% of Americans can even name the 3 branches of government we have, so I'm being generous here.

                The remaining half is split between people who are aware and people cheering it on.

                    People invoke 2A usually lie, and the reason to arm themselves is to kill dark skinned people they don't like.

                        this was always the reason for 2a: empowering white settlers to “defend” their land (stolen from indigenous people at gunpoint) and property (African slaves held in captivity at gunpoint).

                          I looked into it. If I buy one before I move, as soon as I bring the rifle into WA, it counts as importing.

                          What’s the SRA like? I’m not a socialist and am hesitant to be affiliated due to the path the NRA charter

                            Not to encourage this as I am not a lawyer, but mags purchased before the bill was enacted are grandfathered in, meaning that you can still own them, you just can't buy them. So, if you own any already, you're likely fine as far as I can tell. I know that some people just go to Idaho to buy them and then they bring them back. Definitely illegal, but mags aren't tracked in any shape or form so they do it.

                            I don't believe there's any sort of official "militia", but the SRA is very active in the region and may qualify as one.

                            I was not a resident when the law passed so I cannot be grandfathered in

                              Shithole Country, Failed State. These are understating just how fucked up the US is right now.

                              The amount of harm Trump has done and will do to this country (in the name of trying to harm the entire rest of the world) is going to last for decades. And when he's done, he's so dumb that he will think he won bigly and his supporters will continue to repeat idiotic statements about how much better off the US is, and most of them will believe it.

                              This country is fucked.

                                  I think there’s another 1/3 - maybe at intersection of them all.

                                  A great many people in shock, and don’t realise this is just America mask-off.

                                  It’s standard American foreign policy and has been for 60 years. The wars they have started, the regime change, it’s all standard. Ask anyone in South America or the Middle East.

                                    I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm very aware. I don't know how this ends, but I know it's going to get really bad.

                                      I wish 1/3 of the USA were trying to put the fire out... The majority of this third are just watching in horror how the fire consumes their house

                                        Lie and deny

                                        Just buy what you want and shut up about it. Don’t tell or show anyone. If bullets start flying no one will care anymore
