Washington has become the ninth state to ban sales of assault rifles, including AR-15s and other powerful firearms that have become symbols over their use in mass shootings. Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, signed House Bill 1240 into law, a measure prohibiting "manufacture, importation, distribution, selling, and offering for sale" of more than 60 specific weapons, including AR-15s, M-16s, AK-47s and others. The law, one of three signed Tuesday, also bans kits that can convert a firearm into an assault weapon. It takes effect immediately. Click @usatoday's link in bio to see where other states stand.
