Concerning rights of individuals to bear arms.

SB 5535 would invalidate Washington's existing assault weapon ban and firearms industry liability laws by declaring them "void, unenforceable, and ineffective." It directly affects firearm owners, manufacturers, and law enforcement by removing current restrictions on specific firearms and liability protections. The bill repeals key sections of state law (RCW 9.41.390, 9.41.395, and 7.48.330) and redefines "assault weapon" to include specific models and features like certain rifles, magazines, and accessories. This would effectively dismantle current regulations on firearms classified as "assault weapons" under state law. The bill is currently in committee after its first reading.
