Amazingly, the Seattle City Council unanimously passed a special tax and Mayor Ed Murray signaled his support for the measure.
Fox News reports the new “violence” law will impose a $25 tax on guns and a 5-cent tax on bullets sold within the city limits.
Lawmakers proudly touted the regulation a “gun violence tax” because income generated would allegedly be used for prevention and research programs to reduce gun violence in Seattle. Read: a new slush fund to promote their liberal agenda.

Once again the law abiding citizen is made to pay for the acts of the criminal, it’s interesting that the democraps have no problem going after the innocent yet gutless when it comes to going after the criminals.
I never though that my second home would go so wrong. I lived on the east side of the state, but it looks like the west side is setting policy. What a shame. It’s like the west side trying to ban studded tires state wide. Stupid!
Have no fear major lawsuits are coming
Only in this country could the Left create the problems they have over the past 50+ years (deep social problems that have hurt everyone in the Left’s need to make their current and future voters dependent and unsuccessful) and THEN blame the common sense and FOUNDATION of the Cons$#%&!@*ution to then attempt to turn it around, deflect blame, AND TAX US EVEN MORE TO FUND THEIR CONSTANT FAILURES.
And those amongst the Left are still too foolish to see that even if they get all they are asking for… The end result is the Failure and implosion of the greatest Democracy (pre-Obama) known to mankind.
The inmates truly are in charge. : (
The Left’s answer to every problem is either throw more money at it or tax it. Maybe they should do something about the actual cause rather than looking for a quick band-aid fix that will not work. This latest so-called “fix” has to be the most dumb idea they could have come up with…. smh

Yet another Leftist Democrat INFRINGEMENT of Our Rights…. Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”……………. The “A” in Arms is capitalized for a reason in the language of the day it was written. Also, the (,) are in specific order to insure NO discrepancies. IF you are going to reprint or copy/paste the 2nd Amendment, do so with specific and correct intent.
With the (A) capitalized,in the legal language of the day..It meant ANY weapon an infantryman could carry into combat. That is the True Intent and Purpose of the 2nd Amendment.
