KELSO, Wash. — In the roughly 90 minutes that selling high-capacity gun magazines was legal in Washington on Monday, a Kelso gun store owner sold hundreds of magazines to hundreds of customers before the state stepped in and successfully had the ban reinstated.on high capacity magazines on Monday, finding it unconstitutional, but the Washington Supreme Court quickly approved a request for an emergency stay on the order requested by the Washington Attorney General's office.
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, in a statement following the initial ruling, said the magazine ban saves lives and is essential to addressing mass shootings."It's going to be a tough argument to throw this out," he said."If they do, it's really going to smell like fish." "I feel very truly that if I was to not do anything about Carmen's death, just try to forget that it happened, that her death would be in vain," Schentrup said."By using it as something to catalyze myself and to catalyze others into action, we can have it mean something."
