Washington is about to become the 10th state to ban assault weapons.
Under the new law, expected to be signed by Governor Jay Inslee shortly as the bill was passed by the legislature Wednesday, it will be illegal to buy, transfer or export any firearm that falls under Washington’s definition of an assault weapon.

Wait, you actually thought they were going to allow you to have them? Are you guys that stupid? You are NOT part of the elite, but just tools, useful idiots required to make noise and vote them into power. Just because you chanted the appropriate slogans does not mean you get a seat at the feast table. However, rest assured you have your place in the train car going east with the rest of the populus; color, creed and sexual preference notwithstanding.
John Rewolinski, 39, a political moderate from Bellevue, Washington, says that he’s noticed the shifting demographics at his local gun range—and thinks it’s unfair that new types of gun owners will never have a chance to catch up.
“Minorities and LGBTQ have been starting to participate in gun culture but now they won’t be able to,” said Rewolinski. “They’re severely outgunned compared to their right-wing counterparts, they won’t see themselves on equal footing.
You were warned by us in the Gun Culture. You chose to ignore us and call us White Supremacists, Racists, misogynists, transphobes, etc. and ignore our advice.
You are on your own and nobody is coming to rescue you.
Super funny when it dawns on the morons
“Wait … I didn’t think you meant us!”
