Ban semi auto rifles, high capacity mags and anything 50 BMG or larger from what I have read. Just a show. Anything they try to ban will be rules unconstitutional by Supreme Court

[Sorcerer]

Our side: let’s work on helping people in crisis. The other side: from ban every firearm to ban every firearm.

Sen. Rich Draheim, R-Madison Lake, said he would like the discussion to broaden in scope beyond guns.

“I know this working group is targeted towards the gun violence,” he said. “In my perspective, it’s about how do we protect our children, and what can we do to not have another incident like we just had. I think we need to expand what we’re going to do and probably spend a little more time on the mental health and the school portion.”
