TUKWILA, Wash. (AP) – Common sense gun laws are being pushed by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Inslee and Ferguson, along with gun-violence survivors and Democratic lawmakers, announced legislative proposals on Monday that would prohibit assault weapons, require a permit to purchase a gun and make gun sellers potentially liable for negligent sales in the state, The Seattle Times reported. Ferguson’s assault-weapon ban effort has failed six times in the Legislature. If approved and signed into law, this latest gun safety measure will again face opposition from Republicans. The 2023 Washington legislative session starts Jan. 9.
