I love how they claim there will be all this money from the tax that will go to so called gun violence awareness and other horse pucky.

I am willing to bet the tax revenue will be next to zero. There isn't a gun owner out there willing to pay an extra 25 bones in taxes on a 500 round brick of .22's.

I really hope the city of seattle gets their butt handed to them in applies court. :guns: :guns: :stup:

This is the tip of the iceberg, SCOTUS recently refused to see a 2A case involving local municipalities restricting magazines with more than 10 rounds and so called assault weapons.   

Supreme Court Won’t Hear Challenge to Assault Weapons Ban in Chicago Suburb

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a Second Amendment challenge to a Chicago suburb’s ordinance that banned semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.






The decision not to hear the case has no precedential force, but was nonetheless part of a series of signals from the Supreme Court giving at least tacit approval to even quite strict gun control laws in states and localities that choose to enact them.

“The justices don’t reveal their reasons for denying review, but one thing is clear,” said Adam Winkler, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. “The justices certainly aren’t eager to take up a Second Amendment case these days.”

“One has to wonder,” he said, “if the Supreme Court is having second thoughts about the Second Amendment.”

This opens the flood gates for a whole slew of 'temporary' 2A infringements by local governments.  Eventually SCOTUS will have to see a case of this nature, but for now the proverbial can has been kicked down the road.  Heller will be looked at again by SCOTUS.  It's like revisiting Roe V Wade in it's scope.
