On Tuesday, a federal judge denied an attempt to block Washington state’s ban on the sale of semiautomatic rifles, one of three firearm control measures signed by Gov. Jay Inslee.

Inslee signed the law in April, which went into immediate effect, prohibiting the sale, distribution, manufacture, and importation of thousands of guns, including AR- and AK-style rifles.
