Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, both Democrats, announced legislative proposals at a press conference on Monday to prohibit the sale of so-called “assault weapons,” require permits to purchase guns, and make gun sellers potentially liable for crimes committed by private individuals.
