Washington Democrats Advance Permit To Purchase Bill | |||

AMGOA Staff Washington state lawmakers advanced a bill Thursday requiring a "permit-to-purchase" to buy and possess firearms. The Appropriations Committee approved House Bill 1163 on Thursday, setting the stage for the Rules Committee to schedule a floor debate before sending it to the Senate for consideration. If approved, Washington would join several states mandating the permit system. Former Gov. Jay Inslee asked his party to pass the legislation years ago, but attempts in 2023 ended with Democrats removing the "permit-to-purchase language." Instead, the Legislature passed a bill requiring mandatory background checks, waiting periods and safety training. https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_a955165e-f61d-11ef-bdf1-8749bbf8574f.html |
