The tax, imposed on gun sellers, would be $25 on each firearm sold in the city and five cents on each round of ammunition

"That could fund a two-year gunshot-victim-intervention program and study at Harborview, says Fred Rivara, professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington and a core member of the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center. A 2014 report by the center found that individuals hospitalized with gun injuries were more likely than others to be involved in crimes, shot again or murdered."
How is this intervention going to help the person on the receiving end of the gun, teach them how to run faster? :chuckle:

"A few opponents of Burgess said the proposals come as the interim President is running for city council re-election, and he hopes of boosting his progressive appeal."And the tax doesn't even have to pass to accomplish the bolded, just the attempt.
:yeah:

It is the same thing, tax it to pay for something but the funds raised go toward something else. The far left is off on their own little planet.

Like minimum wage, this just drives business out of city limits.
On that note.
Restaurant Prices in SF Rise by 14% After a Recent 14% Increase in the Minimum Wage There

The libs will get what they want, higher prices on guns and food, which disproportionately impacts the poor.
Some compassion there.
This is just another farce designed to do nothing in practice, except impact lawful business owners on their bottom line, while lawful possessors will purchase elsewhere, and while criminals will continue to get them as they always have, straw purchases, theft, and black market.
Don't strain your arm giving yourself a pat on the back, Seattle.

Sounds like they would have to teach them that being a criminal and putting yourself in a position to get shot doesn't work out well.

only in Seattle! he!! beat the surcharge too! Steal a bicycle (since they are all over) drive down the street that was converted with vehicle registration dollars to a bike trail to that remote parking lot to break in and steal the car to drive out of town to purchase your gun (as you are not yet that convicted felon) return to town and rob the corner store with said gun, to purchase your pot from the local greenery saving 25$ which can buy you more weed! So you can go back out in the stolen car and kill someone with said vehicle still in town.... Brilliant!!!
