Rep. Peter Abbarno opposes onerous new regulations on gun dealers and manufacturers in Washington

House Bill 2118 would:

Require firearm dealer employees to be 21 or older, and to undergo
fingerprinting and a background check prior to selling or transferring any
firearms and each year thereafter.

Require dealers to adopt specified security features, alarm systems,
firearm storage practices, surveillance systems, and record keeping
practices.

Require dealers to review and respond to trace requests within 24 hours;
notify law enforcement of any loss, theft, or unlawful transfer within 24
hours; and provide an annual report to the Attorney General.

Require dealers to carry a general liability insurance policy providing at
least $1,000,000 in coverage per incident.

Requires dealers to certify compliance with each licensing requirement
in writing and under penalty of perjury.

The bill passed out of committee along party lines.
