Evergreen State Second Amendment activists are preparing for renewed battles over several pieces of holdover legislation including proposed limits on ammunition purchases, storage requirements and insurance, while Everytown for Gun Safety is flooding social media with inflammatory anti-gun-rights rhetoric.
The Washington Legislature convened Monday, Jan. 12, and the schedule for committee hearings on various bills can be found and followed here.
Held over from the 2025 session are these bills:
HB 1132 Limit purchase of firearms and ammo within a 30 day period.*
HB 1152 Storage Requirements of firearms in vehicles and other locations.
HB 1386 11% tax increase on the purchase guns, parts and ammunition.
HB 1504 Enhancing public safety by requiring financial responsibility to purchase or possess a firearm or operate a firearm range. Insurance per gun. (The bill requires at least $25,000 insurance per firearm, and that policies and bonds must be obtained on a per-firearm basis, with a separate policy or bond required for each distinct firearm. This would bankrupt people with moderate incomes or retired persons with large gun collections, which seems to be the purpose.)
