'None of these laws will stop any crime': Washington firearms trainer blasts sweeping semiautomatic rifle ban
Fox News
A firearms instructor says Washington's forthcoming ban on many semiautomatic rifles won't put a dent in crime, but will hurt competitive shooters and other gun owners.
House Bill 1240 bans so-called "assault weapons" — primarily semiautomatic rifles — with exceptions for law enforcement and the military. The bill passed the Senate Saturday and will return to the House for a second vote because it was amended. The bill will take effect immediately upon Gov. Jay Inslee's signature.
Washington will become the tenth state to adopt a ban on such weapons.
