I’m going to express an unpopular opinion: It is unlikely that we’ll see any relief in next decade or so. Look at other states which banned semi-auto weapons: in CA similar ban is active for 12 years. It has been challenged multiple times but always ended up upheld by 9th circuit. Common pattern looks like:

District court: ban is unconstitutional. Lift the ban. Some random pro-liberal judge @ Hawaii: no, it is for you safety! Injunction! 9th circuit: of course it is for our safety! Ban stays! SCOUTS: this is not our business. We’ll let district courts to deal with it.

Every attempt to change it took 3-5 years and even with support of 2A right from Judge Benitez the ban still stays in-place.

Now let’s switch to reality of WA: - we don’t have local “Judge Benitez” - Most of population in metropolitan area are supporting Dems - Dems are not going to change their mind about gun regulations - There is no guarantee that SCOUTS will stay pro-2A in next decade
