Governor Signs Weapons Ban
April 26, 2023 | Washington
The mood at the Washington State Capitol was jubilant Tuesday as Gov. Jay Inslee signed a trio of gun control bills, one of which immediately bans the manufacture, purchase or importation of so-called assault weapons.
“Party safely tonight,” the governor told supporters after signing the bills.
Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson, both Democrats, pushed for the gun control package.
With the governor’s signature, Washington becomes the 10th state to adopt an “assault weapons” ban. (Excerpt from Fox News.)
