Who would have thought Seattle would try this
"
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."

""We often attach taxes to things that cause harm to our communities and we know that guns are causing harm," said Zach Silk, campaign manager with the Washington Alliance for Gun Safety."
A SIN TAX? Owning and using guns is not a SIN, it's a constitutional right!!!!!!! Where do they get their information???
It still bothers me that these so called educated people have no understanding between right and wrong or have any common sense. If they had any common sense they would know the root cause of gun violence is caused by CRIMINALS!!!!! But they want to tax and incriminate the law abiding gun owners because it fits their agenda!!!
People need to wake up and start spreading the word to family and friends who vote D, that these liberal progressives are not for the little people, as they are being told and they believe the swill being preached!!!
Speaking of insane taxes, Anyone see the Orego.org proposal/test for our nations Federal Carbon Tax or Mile Tracking tax.

In Seattle, they will soon have a tax on religion, free speech, being a Republican/Libertarian or any other "problematic" ideologies or issues that requires the city to spend its money, time and efforts to campaign against. It wouldn't surprise me if the city of Seattle soon made religious clergy to take specialized tests before being allowed to operate their churches/synagogues/mosques/whatever within the city limits.
Seattle wants to break-off and become its own city-state, just as the other Non-American cities such as New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, and VERY SADLY, our so-called Capitol, Washington DC have become.
Look at San Francisco, the SANCTUARY city. Our Constitution doesn't apply there . Guns are illegal for law-abiding citizens to carry, but illegal immigrants with 5 or however many previous felonies and deportations have full protection of the law and are not to be held accountable to any crimes committed, because they are oppressed.
Your tax dollars, BTW, paid for the gun the illegal immigrant used to shoot the unarmed victim who was not allowed to carry a gun for her personal protection, because it would have violated "state and city" laws that supersede our Constitution.
I feel the state of Washington is doomed. More and more radical nutjobs, like the Indian communist, are moving here. Freedom loving and rational minded people are jumping ship and going East.
I have had it with the God forsaken city of Seattle.
Perhaps, Washington's preemptive laws will strike down this sneaky form of "Gun Control'. As always the city of Seattle is trying to circumvent state laws. For example, trying to make it a city crime if you don't report a stolen gun. I doubt it will hold up in the courts, because Seattle is not allowed to implement its own gun laws. It has tried before and has failed. However, as Washington becomes more and more liberalized with the growth of Seattle with all the bleeding hearts around the world to this once-Emerald city, the entire state will start to suffer, as we seen with I-594 laws now in effect.
However, I see dark times ahead in this already overcrowded, overly-liberal, snotty and pretentious city. I came to Seattle because I am in the IT industry, but now I am really just wanting to get the hell out of the city. The overly liberal mindset and Californization/East-Coast liberal transformation of this once grand city is truly depressing and becoming more and more prevalent.
I'm ready to just give up my IT profession altogether if that is what is needed to live in a free state. Everyone says, oh you should focus on your career and live in Seattle, New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles. I guess some people consider freedom a big bank account, which is what attracts many people to these cities. I'm ready to take a pay cut. Of course, along with the liberal gun laws come other liberal laws that will sooner or later destroy the business friendly atmosphere which attracted many people here in the beginning. Although, the liberals/bleeding-hearts/commies have come for the trees, nature and to escape the chaos they made back home, they feel they must fix the stupid Washington people and their "backwards" thinking about 2nd Amendment rights and low-taxation.
People said they were going to stop with "sensible" gun control laws. Now, they want to make guns and ammo so expensive and will slowly add this or that regulation. Just watch. Soon it will be a crime not to have your gun locked up in a safe and soon they will require psychological exams to get a CHL, which probably everyone will eventually fail.
