... Harborview Medical Center treated 253 victims of gun violence in 2014 at a cost of $17 million, $12 million of that borne by the taxpayers ... so it is right to double tax the honest citizens who own guns to help defray those costs ...

Always a new tax. It shouldn’t be difficult to get this struck down.

Isn’t Obamacare supposed to pay everybody’s medical bills? And what’s to stop people from driving out of Seattle to buy guns & ammo? And what about the internet? Hmmm?

A court challenge will use the state’s gun law preemption provision to end this liberal nonsense.

Yea, taxing the law abiding will reduce crime.

How about a $25 tax on every firearm sold? Add to that a 5 cent tax on every cartridge
I see gun shops going out of business in Seattle.

I guess it never dawned on these greedy liberal dildoes to maybe tax only those who use guns to commit “violence”.

How about a $25 add’l tax on every crime committed by a criminal of robbery, rape, assault, theft, burglary, car theft, etc?
That makes more sense.
These people are nuts.

Is it legal to tax a Constitutional Right?

There’s only a half-dozen left - for a city of ~600,000. They’ve all moved to the ‘burbs already.

Oh, oh, oh, How about a 100% tax on any registered Democrat? After all if higher taxes don’t hurt people and the benefits received are so great they shouldn’t mind at all.

I’m sure the criminals who steal guns will march right down and pay it.

I see a profitable business opportunity selling guns and ammo just outside the city limits....

That’s nuts. Gun dealers inside the city limits will lose tons of business.

I think the 5 gun dealers left in Seattle will just move outside the city. The city will get $0.
