Despite some amendments aimed at lessening the impact on small businesses, he expressed concern that the bill&#8217;s stringent requirements would effectively &#8220;kill&#8221; the FFL industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill mandates extensive surveillance and retrofitting requirements for firearms dealers. Kirk pointed out that these regulations would disproportionately affect small, rural FFLs, potentially driving many out of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-per-hb-2118-ffls-with-annual-sales-over-1-000-must-h-t-nra-ila\">Per HB 2118, FFLs with annual sales over $1,000 must (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20240228\/washington-two-anti-gun-bills-advance-through-the-legislature#:~:text=On%20Tuesday%2C%20February%2027th,heading%20to%20the%20Governor' target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"washington-state-signs-an-entire-industrys-death-warrant-goodbye-ffls\" title=\"Washington State Signs an Entire Industry's Death Warrant: Goodbye FFLs!\"s%20desk.\">H\/T NRA-ILA<\/a>):<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conduct annual background checks on employees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry $1 million in liability insurance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install steel doors or bars at their premises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adhere to stringent storage and security system requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain 24-hour audio and video surveillance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Linda Wilson made a passionate speech against the bill, arguing that it unfairly targets legal firearms dealers and does little to address the actual sources of stolen firearms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She emphasized the bill&#8217;s potential to destroy thousands of jobs and harm law-abiding citizens without effectively reducing gun-related crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite fierce opposition, the bill is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Jay Inslee. Kirk urged viewers to stay informed and prepared for potential legal challenges once the bill becomes law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-washington-state-democrats-force-partisan-assault-weapon-ban-through-senate\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/washington-state-democrats-force-partisan-assault-weapon-ban-through-senate\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"washington-state-signs-an-entire-industrys-death-warrant-goodbye-ffls\" title=\"Washington State Signs an Entire Industry's Death Warrant: Goodbye FFLs!\">Washington State Democrats Force Partisan \u2018Assault Weapon\u2019 Ban Through Senate<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The effective date for HB 2118 is set for July 1, 2025, providing some FFLs time to adapt. However, Kirk cautioned that for many, the new regulations could mean the end of their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the debate continues, both supporters and opponents of HB 2118 are bracing for its significant impact on the state&#8217;s firearm industry and Second Amendment rights.
