Me, too.
I highly recommend that anyone interested in Washington State gun politics subscribe to Joe Waldron's GOAL Posts. You can do so by emailing Joe at goalwa@cox.net and requesting to be added to the list.
I've been copying the GOAL Posts to my blog for some time now; here's what Joe had to say about this little event:
Last week I reported that SB 5956 (short-barreled rifles) had died in Committee. But as I noted earlier, dead doesn't mean dead. In an unusual move, yesterday the entire House voted to pull the bill away from the House Judiciary Committee and brought to the floor, where it was voted 95-3. The bill now goes to Governor Inslee for his signature... or veto. Congressman Inslee had a dismal record on guns. Now we'll see what Governor Inslee does. The bill passed with only three dissenting votes out of 147, so it obviously had strong support -- and a veto-proof majority.

Cool. Thanks for the info Drang.
in an effort to not have to read the entire bill, does this by chance also include shotguns?
Rifles only...
At the same time this was originally introduced, there was another bill that was identical but included short barreled shotguns. That one went no where fast.

Yes, because everywhere else that follows Federal Law has seen an overwhelming amount of crime committed with NFA Weapons of all sorts.
I'm with you, but the fact is that SBRs are exotic, and sawed-offs are thug guns. Just ask Vicki Weaver (I'm assuming you've lived in these parts as long as I have). Retarded thinking, in all, but it is what it is. I'd love a shorty 870, but dang, in the Apple state, I'll take what I can get!
Why do you think I named my youngest Ruby??? Just kidding of course. I was totally shocked myself...who would have thought that with all the tree hugging, Spotted Owl saving Granolas in Seattle that we could have SBR's and Cans!
Looks like it got signed. Effective date 6/12/2014. Cool!
