Wonder why tax is charged on just out of state guns and not other stuff?

I was referring to an online purchase. For example I bought a rifle from budsgunshop and had it delivered to the NAC for only a 30 dollar fee. I would never purchase a firearm through aafes, they'll rip you off and laugh about it.
Sucks to be her. She's gonna have to find my IP addresses, break through a few proxy servers, and then prove it cuz I ain't telling her nuthin and she can't audit my FFL

Active duty military are exempt from PX or BX purchases. Otherwise, you've got to pay tax. Online, over the counter, dropped by cargo jet from 10K feet - you owe the tax to the witch in Olympia.

"And not just the honor system, which would suggest choice. It's the law."Yes, but I think the question is how would the state know? In many instances of out-of-state purchases they would not know, which suggests the "honor system".If you were to drive to Oregon (or Montana), go into a Costco/REI/Sportsmans Warehouse/etc. and make a sales-tax free purchase, and drive home with it, the state would not know about it in the vast majority of instances. That does not make it legal. Washington has had a sales tax/use tax system for many years. Most anything you buy, or use, is taxable by law.
