We need to keep supporting the groups that protect our rights.
That means putting our money where our mouth is.

I haven't read the article but am I wrong to assume it will also apply to ammo bought online that gets shipped here?
Post by: Sumpnneedskillin on August 09, 2015, 04:26:34 PM
Yep, more b.s. by the anti's. It's a short drive to Oregon and they will get all my money for ammo.Right now it's just a city of Seattle thing. However, give it time and the good idea fairy will introduce something similar to the legislature.

They will. These idiots just keep throwing wet noodles on the wall and hope they stick. I'm a firm believer that everytime we get these moronic laws enacted, 2nd admendment groups need to sue and establish more rulings that protect our rights.

Another "feel good" law that everyone knows will have no effect. Similar to the law they passed a couple of years ago banning guns in public parks (did anyone really believe that gang bangers were going to see a sign that said no guns allowed and leave their guns in the car?) Obviously the only people effected are those businesses in Seattle dealing in guns and ammo who will see all of their customers making the short drive to Everett or Federal Way to make their purchases. Seattle is what it is. The cities voters want this type of law and the city council is only too willing too oblige-I don't think anyone with an IQ out of double digits thinks this will really accomplish anything. I guess they'll sleep better at night thinking "by golly, we passed a law, that'll take care of the problem".
Yes! And as a result of folks making their firearm/ammo purchases in other cities Seattle will not collect the gun tax OR the municipal portion of sales tax which I believe is 2.6%. This is so utterly stupid - they hurt local businesses, infringe on the rights of law biding citizens and cant find a way to get paid for it.

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...

But ya this is certain to pass and anyone in seattle will have to dig a bit deeper to pay this crap.
Unless you happen to drive outside the city then your good I guess. But still. :bash:

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?

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:

It would be better to charge the five cent ammo tax on each murder instead.

"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.
