2022 Legislative Session Produces Several Bills Concentrate on Firearms

Several bills concentrating on guns are landing in the House of Representatives and Senate.

One bill related to firearm magazine capacity made its way out of the Senate into the House and would ban the sale of magazines with a capacity of more than ten rounds. Legislation that would require a unique serial numbers or a registration with the purchase of a 'ghost gun', firearms that are untraceable, is moving to the Senate.

"We'll see how these gun bills actually end up in the end," said 12th District Representative Mike Steele.

A bill aiming to ban guns and other weapons at ballot counting sites and school board meetings was approved by the Washington State House of Representatives Monday.
