Attorney General Bob Ferguson today announced the introduction of two bills aimed at reducing deadly mass shootings: a previously announced proposal to ban the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and a second, alternative bill enhancing background checks and raising the minimum age required to buy such weapons and magazines.

"I believe a ban on the sale of assault weapons is the right policy for Washington, and I will keep fighting for that," Ferguson said. "I've said from the beginning that it would be an uphill battle. My alternative represents meaningful reform that will enhance public safety now."
