Washington: Magazine Ban Bill Could be Heard at Any Moment

Last night, Senate Bill 5078, the 10-round Magazine Ban legislation, was sent to the House floor and could be heard at any moment. Anti-gun legislators are pulling out all the stops to get this measure passed as soon as possible.  It is critical that you contact your state Representative and respectfully urge them to OPPOSE Senate Bill 5078.  This is the last chance for NRA Members and Second Amendment supporters to contact their Representatives in opposition to this extreme anti-gun measure before it goes to proven anti-gun Governor Jay Inslee.

Senate Bill 5078, bans the manufacture, sale, transfer, importation, etc., of magazines that “are capable of holding,” or hold more than, 10 rounds of ammunition.  This includes conversion kits or parts from which any such magazine may be assembled.  These so-called “high capacity” magazines are, in fact, standard equipment for commonly-owned firearms that many Americans constitutionally and effectively use for an entire range of lawful purposes, such as self-defense or competition.  For example, the Glock 19 was the most commonly purchased firearm of 2021 and has a standard-issue magazine that holds 15 rounds of ammunition.  Any violation of this measure is a gross misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum of 364 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $5,000.

Again, it is crucial for you to contact your state Representative and ask them to OPPOSE Senate Bill 5078.  Don’t forget to forward this message to your family, friends, fellow gun owners, and Second Amendment supporters asking them to also email their state Representative respectfully urging them to OPPOSE SB 5078.
