Washington state: at least 20 county sheriffs refuse to enforce new gun laws

64. I remember when the Federal ban came into effect, which lasted about 10 years

it was a simple deal of just ending all imports of any kind, new or surplus and sales of new AW in the US. You could still buy and sell between individuals where that was aloud & of coarse use the weapons you had. I believe CA has an assault weapons ban of some kind, many states have magazine restrictions. banning the use or confiscation is a whole different ballgame and will probably not hold up in the highest court. The WA state law is really no different than age limits on handgun purchases in other states.
