I don't think you're being pejorative (had to look that up ) or an ass, but keep in mind that the people writing these bills can't even understand the very clear language used in the second amendment (or maybe they do and they don't want to admit it). They seem to purposely write these bills in a way so that it's very hard to interpret what they are actually going for. Or maybe they write it the way they do because they are quite literally retarded. |

PSA has shipped me items post 1240 that Brownells won't.
Since we can send item out for repair, what FFL's can I send my strip lower too and a wish list to build it out? Also, if FFL's are allowed to repair, why are they being banned from ordering parts too? |

Originally Posted By Boom_Stick: Youre saying 1240 legally did nothing? Am I victim of a mandela effect? I seem to recall politicians (on our side) and very professional legit lawyers telling us 1240 banned the sale/buy of parts and guns on the bill. View Quote No, it criminalized the manufacture, importation, distribution, sale, or offer for sale of "assault weapons" by persons in the state of Washington. A part is ONLY an "assault weapon" if the parts from which an "assault weapon" can be assembled are in the possession or under the control of the same person. No individual part is an "assault weapon" unless it's in the possession of someone who ALSO has the other parts necessary to assemble an "assault weapon." This is no different than possessing a complete AR15 rifle while also having a barrel under 16" by itself in a box in your closet. You technically have possession of an SBR, but that barrel by itself isn't an SBR and it is perfectly legal for any retailer to sell and ship you one. It is not illegal for you to purchase in this state, or import from out of state, any individual firearm part which was not already illegal prior to 1240's enactment. Such a sale would only make you in violation of 1240 if the shipment contained all parts necessary to assemble an "assault weapon," which would be illegal anyway since a serialized lower couldn't be shipped to you already. Once you receive said part, you would then be in possession of an "assault weapon" if you already had the other necessary parts from which one could be assembled, and possession is NOT criminalized. You didn't import one because the part wasn't an assault weapon until it was in your possession. Furthermore, the criminal prohibition ONLY applies to people in Washington, not any out-of-state retailer. It's not the Mandela effect, it's FUD propagated by the ignorant and incompetent. |

Sections 4 and 5 of 1240 gives the AG the cover and a green light to pursue civil "consumer protection" action against anyone doing something he doesn't like, even when the ban is struck down on constitutional grounds, and he has very deep pockets to pay his lawyers. |

PLCAA holds that no action may be brought in federal or state court against a firearms industry member/business/etc unless specific conditions are met. For the purposes of this discussion, the relevant condition would be BOTH a crime having been committed/harm as a direct result of the sale AND the retailer being negligent in the sale or otherwise knowing a crime would be committed as a result of the sale. So yes, I do blame them. As should we all. They happily took our money while claiming to be proponents of freedom, yet now tell us to fuck off because they don't want to fight an obviously frivolous lawsuit which itself is plainly illegal for anyone, AG or not, to pursue, regardless of whatever some state's legislature may want.

I'm trying to make sense of it too, I have been for most of the year. Theoretically, lets say someone (not me!) has most of the individual parts in storage that they could technically put together many evil "assault weapons" even though they were intended as replacement parts. And also theoretically, lets say this same someone (not me!) is still buying all the parts they still can from the outside of the state parts venders that are still willing to sell some of the evil AW parts to Washington... Is this a violation of 1240 on the buyer's end? From my reading of it it seems to be, but everything about how 1240 is written is deliberately confusing. |

I sent email to a few places today to see what their policy was in regards to the Washington AWB.
G&R Tactical is a no go for anything AR parts related and they may have ceased all sales of anything. Rock River Arms has ceased all sales of anything to Washington. Windham Weaponry says not right now. Titan Defense says they are temporarily suspending orders to Washington. I also asked, LMT and Palmetto state Armory, but I've heard nothing back from them yet. |

View Quote Yeaaaahhh…. that’s called fraud. Unless it’s expressly explained and accepted by the customer prior to the sale. A little blurb somewhere which says, “We charge a 15% restocking fee on cancelled orders” wouldn’t cut it. Whoever read 1240 and wrote that sentence in their shipping policy about it has an IQ under 90. Still makes my head hurt every time I read someone say AR parts are “banned” in WA. |

AG Turd Ferguson has unlimited (taxpayer) funds and will use them as he sees fits and his supporters are perfectly fine with his wasting Washatonions tax money on his personal pet lawsuits no matter if there is a rainbow at the end.
