SEATTLE (AP) - The owner of one of Seattle's few gun stores says he's moving his business to avoid paying a new tax.
The Seattle Times reports (http://bit.ly/1TEelfU ) that the city tax on firearm and ammunition sales took effect January 1. Precise Shooter owner Sergey Solyanik says he stopped selling guns and ammo in Seattle and is already close to signing a lease in Lynnwood.

Actually, you moron, it isn't going to raise squat.
The gun store owner is moving a mere few miles north and will reopen.
Seattle will lose tax revenue.
A typical result of liberalism.
If I were the owner in a new location, I’d impose an additional “stupid tax” on Seattle-proper residents. They have to be made aware of what their liberal government is doing to their freedom. Either fight back, or move.
Councilmember Tim Burgess said it would raise thousands of dollars for gun violence research and prevention.
Apparently the barbarian council member has never heard the Cain and Abel story.
Seattle Loves Communism so much, The Soviet Republic should build a WALL to keep people in so they can enjoy the fruits of their socialist labor.
To each according to his need, from each according to his ability. Which I Still don't understand that phrase by the way
Well, there is that eerily Directive 10-289ish idea being floated about restricting companies from moving overseas for tax purposes.
Never try understanding insanity. It will consume you.
I’m just amused that the libloons of Seattle even allowed a gun store to be conducting business within its city limits.
Liberalism infects almost everything.
It means you have to work so other people don’t have to.
Gun violence research?
LOL! What the heck is there to research?
The liberals jumping with glee over the owner moving out ... but wait ... Seattle was counting on that tax revenue already budgeted ... oops.
It means you have to work so other people donât have to.
