The Once and Future Ban
In 2022, Washington state passed a law like a grumpy bear with a sore tooth: it banned the sale, import, and distribution of magazines holding more than 10 rounds. But wait! This story has more plot twists than a Netflix documentary. A judge in Cowlitz County, bless their maverick soul, declared the ban unconstitutional in late 2023. Huzzah! we all thought, visions of high-capacity freedom dancing in our heads.
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
Hold Your Horses (or Magazines)
Not so fast, speedy Gonzales. The Washington Attorney General, apparently a fan of cliffhangers, filed an emergency stay. This means the ban is still in effect for now while the courts duke it out like legal eagles with killer arguments.
So, What's the Deal?
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
As of today, May 19th, 2024, buying high-capacity magazines in Washington is a no-go. Don't risk getting on the wrong side of the law (or Attorney General Grumpy-Pants).
However, the legal battle is ongoing. So, stay tuned! This story is far from over, and there's a chance the future might be filled with high-capacity fun...or not.
