Republican legislators fought firearms magazine limits
OLYMPIA — Representatives from all Washington districts, including 19th District Representatives Jim Walsh (R-Aberdeen) and Joel McEntire (R-Cathlamet), participated in the floor debate about firearms ammunition magazine limits that lasted over three hours.
…
“This terrible bill, please vote no,” Walsh stated to House Speaker Laurie Jinkins before the final vote as he told a story involving his daughter.
…
Walsh, 17th District Rep. Vicki Kraft (R-Vancouver), and 13th District Rep. Tom Dent (R-Moses Lake) were the most outspoken House Republicans, each calling the bill unconstitutional and a challenge to enforce.
