"A third tier would include a higher tax on high-velocity ammunition, or more military-style ammunition such as "hollow point bullets."

Idiot status confirmed...

I'd just for once, just one time, really like for them to come up with a solid plan to tackle our issues AND THEN we can find a way to fund it. I'm really freaking sick of this "just give us your money and we'll figure it out" attitude that they all have. They just want all the gun shops to close up shop like what happened in Seattle, so they can turn to their base and say "LoOk wHaT wE Did iN tAcOmA". All while the real issue of crime in our city doesn't even skip a beat. Seattle is taxing everyone for every possible thing they can think of and the entire city is a freaking dump. Its disgusting, they have yet to even make the slightest dent in any of the biggest problems they have but, they just keep asking for more and more money. Taxing and tolling.
Now Tacoma wants to be just wike its bwig brudder..... gaaaa!!! I'm moving to the mountains.... rant over

My son-in-law [born, raised & living in Tacoma] calls it the armpit of Washington State. Tacoma is just following the Seattle example, and will experience the same result: less tax money than estimated, no change in shootings, and businesses that can will move outside city limits.

There is a bigger picture......like what CA is doing.

Aloha, Mark

PS......Speaking of CA.

The Lone ranger....today. (I didn't write this)

The Lone Ranger was arrested in Lone Pine, California for the crime of illegally transferring silver bullets. The famed masked man had just apprehended an armed felon after shooting the gun out of his hand. As was his practice for the last eighty years, he gave a silver bullet to the outlaw's victim.
She was a kindly old widow who was robbed and held captive by the desperado. This lady, grateful that her life and property were restored, treasured the silver bullet as a symbol that justice was done.
The trouble started when she showed the bullet to her weekly garden club. Upon seeing the gleaming memento, one lady fainted. Another lady gasped that they were all going to die. A third lady, who was also a member of CHA (California Hysterics Anonymous), warned that where there was a bullet there had to be a gun. During the shocked silence an attendee desperately summoned the Sheriff on her cell phone.
When the Sheriff heard their story he struggled to stifle a laugh. He knew the old gentleman on the big white horse. He also appreciated how many criminals the Lone Ranger had captured over the years. However, since California voters passed Proposition 63, he had to uphold the law.
Predictably, he found the masked man enjoying a beer at the Dry Gulch Saloon back in town.
"Thanks for helping old widow Smith," he said, "but did you really give her a silver bullet?"
"Yes," replied the Lone Ranger, "after all that's my trademark. Got a problem with that?"
"Well, yes," hesitated the sheriff. "Ya see – under Proposition 63, you've got to be a licensed firearms dealer to give anyone a bullet."
"Are you kidding?" asked the Lone Ranger.
"Wish I was," said the embarrassed sheriff, "and to boot whoever receives the bullet has to be registered with the Department of Justice."
"Holy guacamole!" exclaimed the masked man. "Did I do anything else wrong?"
"Well," said the sheriff, looking even more sheepish now, "there's the little matter of you shooting a gun out of the outlaw's hand."
"What!" said the Lone Ranger. "If I hadn't done that, the skunk would have plugged me for sure."
"I know that," admitted the Sheriff, "but he'll probably sue you for failing to retreat and using unnecessary force. If they convict you, they'll take your six-shooters away for good. Which reminds me, according to California law, your pistols have too large a capacity. If I were you, I'd convert those six-shooters into five-shooters as quick as you can."
"Jumpin' Junipers!" exclaimed the Lone Ranger. "I'd better tell this to my faithful Indian companion, Tonto."
"Hold on," said the Sheriff. "I need to remind you that Indians are now referred to as Native Americans. We privileged male palefaces have got to remember that."
As the Lone Ranger sat in shocked silence, the sheriff explained his rights and proceeded to take him in.
Postscript: Upon being provided an attorney at state expense, the outlaw successfully sued the Lone Ranger. He claimed that he could no longer work since he had suffered the permanent loss of his trigger finger.
Governor Gavin Newsom urged imposing the maximum sentence for possession of illegal ammunition and a firearm that exceeds lawful capacity. He received a huge monetary award, forcing the Lone Ranger to sell the silver mine.
Tonto was deemed innocent, but victimized by virtue of being a member of an oppressed minority. He was given land by the state and now operates a very profitable casino.
After getting out of jail, the Lone Ranger could not find a job since he was now an ex-con. Fortunately, Tonto lets him do light janitorial work at the casino and sleep in the basement.
Following the passage of Proposition 63, violent crime in California has steadily increased. Governor Newsom advises troubled property owners to protect themselves by posting signs that say, "Keep Out—Gun Free Zone".

It's a joke. Though someday it might not be.

I'm so sick & tired of these communist liberal pieces of donkey dung and the assinine agenda they are striving for. I can't wait for the fecal matter to hit the fan, it's long over dew.

It's just a smaller example of the same thing other bigger cities are doing. Voters elect people who screw them. Then voters scream. People they voted in promise to fix the mess, so voters put them back in. Mess gets worse, so voters blame Trump or some other person who has nothing to do with how the city is run. When the Chief killed his Wife a while back it shined a light on a LOT of what was going on. Voters showed again when the dust settled just how short memories are.

But, but, but, it is working SO well in Seattle.

If these morons do this what will of course happen is shops that sell this stuff in the city will just no longer have any sales. Sadly those with a dedicated gun shop would just have to move. If they put the tax on mail order everyone who lives in the city will be using some friend who lives outside the city as an address. So of course the new tax will bring in pennies on the dollar to what they "think" it will bring in. The people who put it in will have that same look on their face they always have, deer in headlights.

Well, up his hole with a Mello Roll.
