Ok guys, we lost the original posting of the Wa State Assault Weapon Ban, so I'll reprint it now the best I can.
Also, I'll condense the different sections in an attempt to make it a bit more understandable. As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
Here goes...

Alright. This continues to come up despite all of our efforts to draw it out in crayon for all here so, I will no longer issue warnings and delete ads.
From this point forward, If illegal items are listed without a proper state disclaimer, I will delete the ad and permanently ban the OP. No more second, third and fourth chances.
I haven't the time to continue to read and interpret the laws for you...We are all grown ups here.
I don't like it either and am putting money toward every pro 2-A organization known to man.
I have received more than 1 friendly warning from law enforcement about this and am not going to risk shutting the site down due to member's negligence.
Help me Help you.
It's pretty simple.
