I would love to see socialist Seattle implode. Unfortunately there's just to much money there for it to happen.

You're actually upset that the business hub of the whole state is doing too well?

This new tax is annoying. But I buy my ammo online anyway and I'll just have to buy my guns in Bellevue I guess. Not really a life changing event...

 Curious to hear your opinion on this mags, do you think it will have any effect on gun violence?

Of course not. It's a cash grab.

 But where is that cash going to go? Buy backs? Might even get it back as a deposit on return.

Another way to go after our 2A rights, but nothing towards the criminals who have all the rights..

.....and don't start on they don't. They do, you have to be PC, you can't bash their heads in with batons, you have to render a cop killer assistance, total bullcrapinsky..
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Politicians in general are stupid, and the ones in Seattle are 10 fold. This is not a static issue so it solves nothing. What i want to know is who in thier right mind would put thier business in Seatown anymore?

Maybe this gun/bullet tax can help pay for some more much needed rainbow and African flag cross walks.....Next time I travel and people ask me where I am from, I used to say Seattle for convenience sake......Too embarrassing to claim that anymore.

It would be better to charge the five cent ammo tax on each murder instead.
Then again, that might not work as a deterrent either.

Maybe something higher like ten cents per murder?



It's a joke.  Lay off.  :chuckle:

SAF is on top of this.  It will be repealed imo under state preemption.  One of the many reasons i support SAF financially.

The article in Forbes has a few notes about this one citing a councilman as saying:
"A gun violence tax will give us revenue to provide broad-based benefits through research and prevention programs."
This is cute.  It's poverty.  Address poverty.  Does taxing the poor help the poor?  Hmm.

It also says that something like this was done in Cook County, Illinois (Chicago).
No apparent effect.  Violent crimes continued to increase there at the same rate.

Poverty.
Things that cause low income situations.

Like taxes.
Things that limit the number of employees an employer can hire.
Like inequitable divorce outcomes.
And of course a sense of entitlement.
