SEATTLE (AP) — Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson is suing a Federal Way gun shop, saying it unlawfully sold high-capacity magazines to investigators during a compliance operation. Ferguson said Wednesday that Federal Way Discount Guns was one of just two gun stores — out of 25 tested across the state — that failed to comply with the law. The store did not immediately return an email seeking comment. Lawmakers adopted the ban on high-capacity magazines this year at Ferguson’s request, and the sting was the first effort by his office to enforce compliance. Violations are punishable by up to $7,500 for every time a high-capacity magazine was offered for sale and $7,500 for each actual sale.
