This is just how well the Anti-gunners thought about what they were doing when they accepted Bloomberg's money and bill and pushed it through the Washington State Election.
Anyone who sells 12-gauge flare guns will have to do a background check.
Nail Guns fall under that definition.
Even the Washington DOT's avalanche prevention cannon falls under that definition.
I-594 requires a background check for it.
So whenever a contractor sends a crew out with a Nail gun or when the State sends out their artillery gun with a road crew for avalanche control, they are required by law to go to a FFL and have background checks done on the person who will be using that item. If a different person is going to operate them the next day, then new background checks have to be done again. If those items are going to be returned to the Contractor or the State that evening, then background checks will have to be done again.
Even most of the little plastic champagne bottle poppers that shoot the confetti when the string is pulled are devices that fire a projectile with an explosive charge — there is a tiny gunpowder charge in most of them.
Does new law take into consideration devices Letter - Whidbey News-Times
Will Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe’s, Cabela’s and countless other sporting goods and hardware stores, as well as construction companies in Washington and even the state Department of Transportation, comply with Initiative 594 when it becomes law, and will this state’s prosecuting attorneys prosecute those who don’t?
The definition of firearm contained in state law and in I-594 reads, “… A weapon or device from which a projectile or projectiles may be fired by an explosive such as gunpowder.”
Notice the key words “or device” in the definition.
