I subscribe to emails from the WA Alliance for "Gun Responsibility" just because I'm interested to hear their spin.

They're talking about carry reciprocity and how that's going to put more guns "on the streets".

Their entire campaign is constant fear mongering about how us gun owners are always lurking around the corner waiting to kill the defenseless urban cat ladies that keeps these organization alive.

Spreading blatant lies... smh

Blatant lies? Yeah, that's one way to put it.

History tells us of an advocate of the "big lie." Tell a big lie often enough and for many people it becomes the truth.

Perfect illustration of "the power to tax is the power to destroy."  You shall not exercise your constitutional right in their utopia, prole.

I think the gun/ammo tax is ridiculous and ineffective, but why should it be illegal?

We have special taxes on all kinds of things, tobacco, gas, liquor etc. From a purely legal standpoint, why should guns/ammo be excluded from special taxes?

So, let's see if I have this right..

You are okay with slapping a use fee on the exercise of a constitutionally delineated civil right?
How about  state trooper standing outside your church on Sunday to grab ten bucks before you can enter?

See Murdock v. Pennsylvania:
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/319/105/case.html

4. A State may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the Federal Constitution. P. 319 U. S. 113.

5. The flat license tax here involved restrains in advance the Constitutional liberties of press and religion, and inevitably tends to suppress their exercise. P. 319 U. S. 114.

I believe that we should approach this issues with total literal accuracy, as to not appear fanatical.

How convieninet and liberal of you, where was this argument when discussing the 9th Circuits travel ban decision? :rolleyes:
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Seattle Council Candidate Grant Wants to Double ‘Gun Violence Tax’
 
One of the candidates running to fill the Seattle City Council seat being vacated by Tim Burgess, who pushed through the city’s “gun violence tax,” is proposing to double that tax to raise revenue not realized during the first year it was assessed, a move predicted by Washington state’s leading gun rights advocate.
