THIS JUST IN: Seattle 'gun tax' $103K total

How much did it really cost them to make that miniscule amount?

With all of the gun stores leaving the city, the tax revenue collected will be $0 regardless of the tax rate.

Quote from KIRO 7 news.
"Seattle has dipped into its general fund to support the gun violence research study at Harborview Medical Center. Seattle paid a total of $550,000 for the study aimed at connecting gunshot victims with social services in hopes of not seeing them in the emergency room again."
Presumably this does not include the administrative cost to run this gun tax program either.

Now I hear that the liberals are trying to make it a state wide tax.

How many jobs were lost? How much income and business tax have they lost? This was never about the tax money! DR
