OLYMPIA — Paul Kramer has traveled many times to the state Capitol the past few years.
Few trips proved as satisfying as Wednesday’s, when the Mukilteo resident stood a few strides from Gov. Jay Inslee to watch him sign a new law banning the sale of large capacity ammunition magazines.
Kramer’s been fighting for a ban since the summer of 2016 when a 19-year-old with a semi-automatic weapon and 30-round clip killed Anna Bui, Jake Long and Jordan Ebner, and seriously wounded Kramer’s son, Will.
“This is a milestone. It’s incredibly satisfying and joyful,” Paul Kramer said afterwards. “It’s surprising too because there’s been a lot of resistance and a lot of opposition that kept us from getting to this point for many years.”

How will the new gun laws affect Washingtonians? Here are some of the basics
Gov. Jay Inslee signed three new pieces of legislation into law on Wednesday concerning new regulations on guns.
Senate Bill 5078 concerns “high-capacity” magazines in the state. The law will prohibit importing, distributing, manufacturing, selling or offering for sale of high-capacity magazines, which are defined as magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
House Bill 1705 concerns untraceable firearms, also known as “ghost guns.” The law will prohibit “manufacturing, causing to be manufactured, assembling, causing to be assembled, selling, offering to sell, transferring, or purchasing” of untraceable firearms.
House Bill 1630 adds restrictions to where Washingtonians can carry weapons. Open carrying weapons will now be prohibited at local government facilities, or locations where local government meetings take place. Possession of weapons will also now be prohibited at school board meetings and election-related facilities.
