Governor Jay Inslee on Washington's Assault Weapons Ban

By WNYC and PRX

Washington state has long led on progressive policies and reform.  In late April, Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed a package of bills to address gun violence. House Bill 1240 prohibits the manufacture, importation, distribution, and sale of assault-style weapons in Washington. Two additional measures require a 10 day waiting period and a training requirement for all gun purchases were also signed by the Governor. 

We speak with Governor Jay Inslee about the legislation, and hear how Washington is leading on other progressive policies as well.
