The best reason there is to not be on any list.

Then people need to step up and file lawsuits for invasion of privacy

The new bill has that portion redacted. Not sure if it was an attempt to slip something in or that the Washington State legislators are just plain ass lazy and not doing their job. They were called on the carpet for it and the revised bill has been re-issued.

Looks like somebody slipped up and let the cat out of the bag. Pleading DUHH, OOOPS isn't going to work.

Have you thought about all the subscription/membership lists you may be on?

After receiving the email from the sheriff of the county I live in, I can totally see that happening in the Tri Cities.

Could someone PLEASE point me to an OFFICIAL definition of the term "Assault Weapon". I have yet to see an actual definition of what constitutes an assault weapon to differentiate it from what does not. We know it applies to an AR-15, which has no _functional_ differences to any other semi-automatic, magazine-fed rifle out there. It appears that a folding stock and/or pistol grips (cosmetic features) somehow plays a role, but I would really like to see an official definition of the term, if one actually exists.

When a member of the general population buys a rifle it is considered an assault weapon. When DHS buys 7,000 fully automatic rifles they are called personal defense weapons (PDW). This is to teach us that we are not to be trusted with our own self defense and that we are evil for wanting to own similar weapons as law enforcement and military. It is really used to differentiate WHOM is using such a weapon. The message is clear: when a citizen uses it then it is a bad thing. when the government uses them is is a glorious thing and worthy of praise and worship.

I think it's time for you to come down South Chen, we'd rather you be here than up there...

I agree it might be time to move back to Oregon.

Ha ha - like the "fully semi-automatic" piece.

All joking aside, it's perplexing that legislation towards "Assault Weapons" has progressed as far as it has with no formal definition of the term as of yet. I suppose it's no surprise, since the term "Assault Rifle" introduced back in the 90's suffered the same lack of definition.

Yeah the fully semi automatic and the racist magazine are the funniest parts to me...it would be even more funny if it wasn't so sad that many people think that it's true.

I assume you've seen this but if you haven't..came out of the Chicago tribune a few weeks back.

First they will take the 2nd amendment. Then the 1st amendment. Then all of the rest. This is a clear violation of the 4th. They have no respect for the Constitution.

The title of this thread is misleading. Until the law is actually passed, it does not represent anything but a work in progress.

True. "A couple of socialist progressive politicians in Washington State want Sheriff to inspect peoples homes of Assault weapon owners" would be more appropriate.
