There is zero chance that WA legislature will vote to ban the AR-15.
I wonder if it did pass if Gov Inslee would sign it. Jay lost his eastern Washington Congressional seat in 94 because of the Clinton era Assault Weapons Ban.

Ferguson is posturing. Everyone is loving his lawsuit against Comcast. This Assault Weapons thing is good for the base, but not the general electorate. There are no official term limits in WA, but 8 years is the tradition. Ferguson is looking over the horizon to 2020.

Sheer ignorance, or intentional deception. AR-15-type rifles weren't banned 1994-2004. benEzra Sep 2016 #9

It is remarkable that the paper used that title. It seems almost goading, full of hubris. Eleanors38 Sep 2016 #12

Pretty sure "Analysis" in this context, is from the Ancient Croation, "Anal - Ysis" DonP Sep 2016 #13
