Q13Fox's Annie Andrews checked in with gun store owners, employees and patrons, and found support for gun responsibility measures in the Legislature:

Gun safety bills proposed in Olympia are mostly common sense, gun shop owners in Bow, Wash., said

…

Hanson and employee Dave Bates said the law proposed in Olympia banning the sale of semi-automatic rifles to anyone under 21 wouldn’t have much impact at All American Armory.

…

They both agree in stiff penalties for guns not locked up.

‘One-hundred percent should be locked up,’ said Hanson.

A bill making an education class mandatory before the purchase of a semi-automatic rifle is common sense, he added.

‘To drive a car, to get married, to go hunting, to go fishing, to drive a boat now in Washington state, you have to take a test and prove that you’re going to be safe with that thing,’ said Hanson. ‘So, I don’t really see anything wrong with a safety course of some sort for guns.’

‘I hope they (the bills) pass,’ said Charleen Spaeth, shopping at the Burlington Target.”
