For such a tech and adv. manufacturing dependent state, WA certainly has pushed some conspicuous and myopic regulations since 2016. With the coming income tax creep, seems we’re marching towards the bloat of California sans any of the benefits(consumer data laws, digital/real ID, etc).

Washington isn't really known for a 3D printer industry. So it doesn't hurt the local economy. But lobbying is effective regardless of how invested a state is. Not to mention it adds another bullet point to their "accomplishments". Seems like gun manufacturers getting ahead of a future cut into their profits.
