Washington Governor Signs Comprehensive Gun Control Package into Law.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed three gun-control bills into law, including a ban on certain semi-automatic rifles, a 10-day waiting period on firearms purchases, and a provision allowing lawsuits against gun makers or sellers in certain cases. Gun-control activists and Democratic lawmakers cheered the measures, while the White House praised the state officials for passing the ban on selling specific semi-automatic weapons. However, the ban drew a legal challenge from the Second Amendment Foundation and the Firearms Policy Coalition, who argue that it violates the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
