Washingtonians agree: comprehensive background checks for gun purchases are common sense.

They don't wanna take our guns and no it's a lie that they will take the first Amendment after they get rid of the second, that is why these pages ban any intelligent pro gun responders.

"Criminal and public safety background checks are an effective and easy mechanism to ensure that guns are not purchased by or transferred to those who are prohibited from possessing them. Criminal and public safety background checks also reduce illegal gun trafficking. "
This little section will insure that all purchases are within the purchasers county of residence.
"The dealer shall, by the end of the business day, sign and attach
his or her address and deliver a copy of the application and such
other documentation as required under subsection (1) of this section
to the chief of police of the municipality or the sheriff of the
county of which the purchaser is a resident. The triplicate shall be
retained by the dealer for six years. "
Also note that there is no "or" between (a) and (b).
Sec. 5.
RCW 9.41.090 and 1996 c 295 s 8 are each amended to read
as follows:
(1) In addition to the other requirements of this chapter, no
dealer may deliver a pistol to the purchaser thereof until:
(a) The purchaser produces a valid concealed pistol license and
the dealer has recorded the purchaser's name, license number, and
issuing agency, such record to be made in triplicate and processed as
provided in subsection (5) of this section. For purposes of this
subsection (1)(a), a "valid concealed pistol license" does not include
a temporary emergency license, and does not include any license issued
before July 1, 1996, unless the issuing agency conducted a records
search for disqualifying crimes under RCW 9.41.070 at the time of
issuance;
(b) The dealer is notified in writing by the chief of police or
the sheriff of the jurisdiction in which the purchaser resides that
the purchaser is eligible to possess a pistol under RCW 9.41
.040 and that the application to purchase is approved by the chief of police or sheriff; or
Now I am not up to speed on WA state gun laws but I do assume that even without this bill that illegal firearm purchases were ...........well illegal. I don't see how this addresses that issue.
"Notwithstanding the penalty provisions in this chapter, any person
knowingly violating section 3 of this act is guilty of a gross
misdemeanor punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW. If a person
previously has been found guilty under this section, then the person
is guilty of a class C felony punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW for
each subsequent knowing violation of section 3 of this act. A person
is guilty of a separate offense for each and every gun sold or
transferred without complying with the background check requirements
of section 3 of this act. It is an affirmative defense to any
prosecution brought under this section that the sale or transfer
satisfied one of the exceptions in section 3(4) of this act."
