OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed a trio of bills into law Wednesday morning that restrict firearms, including a new limit on the amount of ammunition in magazines and prohibition on open carry of weapons at city meetings.
The two other pieces of legislation are intended to limit weapons at government meetings and election spaces, and to further tighten prohibitions on the assembly of untraceable “ghost” guns.
Taken together, the bills are some of the strongest gun regulations to be passed by the Legislature. Washington voters in the past decade have three times approved stricter gun laws at the ballot box, after proposals died in Olympia.
