Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he Tongate language relied upon by Pam did not limit the definition of a firearm to one capable of being fired during the crime. Rather, the distinction was between a toy gun and a gun “in fact.” ... [W]hen the Legislature adopted the definition of firearm in 1983, the Washington Supreme Court had clearly set out the definition of firearm . . . [that] did not limit firearms to only those guns capable of being fired during the commission of the crime. Rather, the court characterized a firearm as a gun in fact, not a toy gun; and the real gun need not be loaded or even capable of being fired to be a firearm.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“a weapon or device from which a projectile or projectiles may be fired by an explosive such as gunpowder.”
