    In Washington state, we will do more than thoughts and prayers. Other commonsense gun safety measures passed by the Senate: ➡️#HB1143 requires safety training & a 10-day waiting period for all firearm purchases ➡️#SB5078 increases accountability for manufacturers & dealers #WALeg
    Graphic detailing three recent gun safety bills passed by the Washington State Senate: (HB1240) assault weapons ban, (HB1143) safety training and waiting period on all firearm purchases, and (SB5078) more accountability for dealers and manufacturers.

    The House just passed #SB5078 — now both chambers of #WALeg have voted to ensure that the firearms industry is treated like every other industry & faces real consequences for irresponsible conduct and failing to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals.
