Gov. Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced their plan to stop the growing amount of gun violence in the state. The elected leaders presented two public safety bills that they will jointly propose during the 2023 legislative session. FOX13
Inslee said gun violence is now the leading cause of death for young people, above car accidents and cancer. He also said gun violence kills more than 800 Washingtonians a year, with 23 deaths in Nov. 2022 alone.The first bill calls for a ban on the sale, manufacture and importation of assault rifles in the state. This will be the seventh year in a row Ferguson will propose the measure.
"This is a bill that will ensure that firearms manufacturers and sellers face consequences, liability when they are irresponsible," said Ferguson. "If those weapons get in the wrong hands and the tragic outcomes that we are all too familiar with occur on their watch and as a result of their actions, then these lawsuits can be brought."
"That will treat guns with the severity that they deserve. You need to get a license to drive a car in the state of Washington, you need to get a license to go fishing. It’s time that you get a license to make sure that you have safety training to purchase a gun in the state of Washington. And it’s high time that we pass a bill to make sure you get a permit before you purchase a firearm," said Inslee.
