I think you can be assured that the attacks on the 2nd amendment will not just stop.
We need to keep supporting the groups that protect our rights.
That means putting our money where our mouth is.

I think the bigger problem is the state paying almost 67k for a criminal that got shot by leo or homeowners for breaking the law. geez

As longshanks said in Braveheart "can't get them out well tax them out" (replaced with my own wording but is what came to mind when I read that article.

Abit like raising license tabs to pay for drunk drivers, or maybe spoon tax's to pay for fat @ss's.

  What a joke.  Seattle leading the way in stupidity once again!  Great strides for man kind.... great strides

It's moving forward, unfortunately, and the per-round tax is $0.05!

another idiot idea from the liberal tree huggers that live in the city of seattle. glad i dont live up north any more moved back down to sw washington where im from. im a seahawk since i was a kid but keep in mind the owner of this team has the same logic and ideas as these people. so i will never step foot in that staduim. just something to be aware of for you people that pay money to see those games and are gun owners.

Maybe they should put a tax of $25. per seat in the stadium per game.We can call it the Auto collision,road maintenance,environmental protection act.We can use the money from the team owner to counter some of the cost for the accident victims,clean air education,and road repairs.we can also add on more leo to help with clearing the traffic from the traffic to and from the games.

Sad thing is, I went to grade school with Paul Allen. No kidding. I'm happy we weren't ever friends....I think he used to get teased and beat up alot.. now him and his liberal mayor are getting even with us....well, most everybody..

Yep, more b.s. by the anti's. It's a short drive to Oregon and they will get all my money for ammo.
I haven't read the article but am I wrong to assume it will also apply to ammo bought online that gets shipped here?

Right now it's just a city of Seattle thing.  However, give it time and the good idea fairy will introduce something similar to the legislature.
