Governor Signs Law Targeting Illegal Gun Buyers

(Olympia, WA)  --  A bill that's intended to crack down on attempts to illegally purchase guns in Washington is now law.  Governor Jay Inslee says the legislation will help keep guns out of the hands of those who are not eligible to have them, and keep the public and law enforcement officers safe.  The bill requires gun dealers to notify the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs within five days of denying a gun purchase.  The Washington State Patrol will then put the information into an electronic database that's accessible to law enforcement agencies.
