Talking points, new stuff in bold:

Even with the weak grandfather clause, it is completely illegal to use these magazines defensively or for concealed carry, effectively criminalizing any practical use and making the already liability-ridden grandfather clause largely irrelevant. According to the language of the bill, you would be breaking the law by having grandfathered mags in your car that are loaded or not locked in a separate container on the way to the range. The lawful activity of most gun owners in the state will be criminalized. The law and justice committee is now stating that owners photograph there magazines. Given the tiny portion of Washington gun owners that follow the legal process closely this is meaningless, very few will see this provision and comply. This also allows police and the judicial system to presume that anyone who cannot produce photographic evidence is a criminal. Even assuming every single Washington gun owner knew about this (and absurd proposition) there is still no way at all to prove that the magazines are theirs or to prove when the photo was taken. This amendment changes absolutely nothing and gun owners remain guilty until proven innocent. Frankly, I would argue this amendment made the situation WORSE as gun owners are now legally obligated to perform a task BEFORE the law goes into effect that the majority will have no idea they need to comply with.
Owners have to prove that they owned the magazines before the ban, which is impossible. Magazines are not serialized in any way forcing owners to prove a negative in order to avoid criminal prosecution and liability. Again, we really want to hammer on the legal issues and criminal culpability rather than "muh rights" or just spamming data on how non-dangerous mags are in WA... they know and they don't care. It's all about showing how legally jeopardizing is, that's something they will genuinely want to avoid.
The amendment claims that magazines over 17 rounds are not in common use, and are "dangerous and unusual" borrowing language from DC vs. Heller. This is false the most common rifle sold in the United States is the AR-15, any limit on magazine capacity is arbitrary and criminalizing. There are very few gun owners who will be 'spared' by the raised limit.
The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs’ extensive, peer-reviewed and well-funded study regarding firearm violence solutions explicitly DID NOT recommend a mag ban, despite demands to do so by political groups. Please direct your attention to the recommendations listed on pages 4, 5 and 6.
Any exemption for off-duty LE. Police officers are not a superior class of citizens and should not enjoy separate rights. This ban is ineffectual and criminalizing and should not apply to anyone.
A version of this law was defeated last session with bipartisan opposition in the state senate. More Washingtonians of all political and demographic backgrounds own firearms now than last session, and the bill is even more mass criminalizing. This is not politically wise And a CA ban is being challenged and has been ruled against in the 9th circuit, why pass a law that has a >50% chance of being ruled unconstitutional? While the L&J committee weakly addressed the 9th circuit's pending case, they did so arguing that they are not issuing a "blanket ban" on magazines over 17 rounds. This is false as they are issuing a blanket ban on all new gun owners and the majority of Washingtonians who don't own these yet. This addresses none of the merits of the Becerra case.
