The amount of money it COULD raise is dependant on consumers making their purchases within the taxing arm's reach of the City of Seattle .. . . I, for one, might stop making purchases at Outdoor Emporium and head south to their other location instead. . . .
This is the whole idea if you ask me.
See,Washington has that pesky 'pre-emptive ' clause that makes it so the Californians,I mean Seattelites ,can't outlaw guns in their own city.
Golly Beave!
So they'll tax the crap out of the darn things and all the gun shops will close...cause who would pay the tax when you can drive 2 mile to get out of it?
Then this will,in turn make all the rest of the gun people so mad they will never come back to Seattle.
Maybe not so much on the second part but it probably will alienate quite a few more people and businesses

Absurd. First question should be, why does it cost $ 67,000 on average to treat a gun shot patient? Second question: if we need to pay 12m$ from taxes, how can you make this from a 25$ tax. That would require 480,000 guns to be sold in city limits - if the goal was to cover the cost. If you want to discourage violent people from buying guns, it ain't happening in the stores. Felons don't purchase firearms legally.

Suggestion: keep felons locked up.
 
Round One in Seattle: 'City has crime problem, not gun problem'

There was light attendance for yesterday's opening round in a battle over whether the Seattle City Council will adopt a proposal to tax firearms and ammunition, but Phil Watson, representing the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms was blunt: "The city has a crime problem, not a gun problem."

Good -- carry on. And really even if the signs did apply to CHLs, smart people wouldn't follow that rule anyway. Criminals bent for a mass shooting don't care either, or the gangbangers, and good citizens need a firearm to protect themselves.
 
It's not even funny that these so called public servants cannot seen that there is indeed a crime problem and they shout be curtailing the rights of criminals and not the law abiding!!!
Educated IDIOTS!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad:
 
Who would have thought Seattle would try this :rolleyes:
"
The proposal by Councilman Tim Burgess, who's running for re-election, would impose a $25 tax on every gun purchased and a 5-cent tax on every bullet.

A box of 100 bullets would cost $5 more, basically adding 25 percent to the cost of average ammunition.

The tax would raise between $300,000 and $500,000 a year, according to Burgess , and would fund gun violence programs and research."

It will be fun watching the city of Seattle become a liberal paradise. From the porch of my house in a free state....:cool:

Can't wait until it is filled with picturesque scenes like this:

Gun restrictions and ammo will be like kali one day in your future. You will have to go across state lines to buy ammo and there will be long waiting periods to buy a gun. It's what socialism is, control of your life.

Don't bother stocking up because then you are an arsenal...o_O
 
Much like the $15/hour pay for entry level, low skill workers, it will simply put the competition in the city at a disadvantage. This however, is a bit different. It is an Orwellian tactic aimed at 2AR's.
 
Seattle Council votes on gun tax today; what happens next?

Sometime after it convenes at 2 p.m. today, the Seattle City Council will vote on a proposed gun and ammunition tax, and a stolen gun reporting requirement that opponents insist will violate state law, and with potential lawsuits on the horizon, Second Amendment activists are wondering what might be next from this anti-gun municipality.

Just love how this is all working out:D. These same progressives back in may raised minimum wage and because they did Seattle now has the greatest number of unemployed since the great depression. Over 1000 jobs lost in their foolishness yet they are adding more taxes and the loss of more jobs.

Progressives hate the constitution and people who own guns... except when they have the guns:D
 
Welcome to the Soviet of Seattle. Was a nice blue collar port city 20 years ago now it's a milk toast, over priced, caffeine and heroin driven , skinny jeans wearing, common senseless glittering sink hole of assininity.

Just the very place you want to exercise the privilege your county sheriff attested to.

Brutus Out:cool:
 
Odds are it will soon be like Oakland kali with no gun shops in the city limits so that tax will be meaningless. What a bunch of boobs running Seattle thinking people will buy ammo there and pay more. Proves again that progressives just ain't got a clue.:D
