http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary ... &year=2013 http://www.heraldnet.com/article/201303 ... 8/0/SEARCHQuote: A bill introduced today calls on the state to "encourage the manufacture of smokeless propellant, small arms primers, cartridge cases, and small arms ammunition and firearm parts and accessories within the borders of Washington."
By encourage, sponsors mean to assist manufacturers in locating in Washington.
The rationale is laid out in the intent section of House Bill 2020The legislature finds that both the right to bear arms and the safety and well-being of law-abiding citizens who possess firearms are at serious risk if the people cannot obtain ammunition for their firearms. A reliable, adequate, and ongoing source of ammunition is an indivisible and essential part of the right to bear arms. The people of Washington state who need small arms ammunition are almost completely dependent upon a very limited number of manufacturers of smokeless propellant, small arms primers, cartridge cases, and small arms ammunition that are located in other states."

I am free because I say I am. My freedom is not dependent on any government benefit or piece of legislation. My rights are inherent in the fact that I was born a sovereign being. They are non-negotiable. The government can list them and protect them, but my rights are not theirs to give away.

Nice. Will go along very well in the Washington Firearms Freedom act which I don't think has been read yet. Same idea as this ammo bill, but applies to the firearms themselves.

Everytime I see this post my brain reads it as "bring your firearm to your job in WA!"
