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 think that’s the purpose.
There’s only a half-dozen left - for a city of ~600,000. They’ve all moved to the ‘burbs already.
I see a profitable business opportunity selling guns and ammo just outside the city limits....

A couple of the large sporting stores in Seattle are rumored to move their gun sales out of Seattle. Although I think it would make more sense to just move the entire inventory.
So a box of 25 shotgun shells will go from $8 to $9.25. Times 4 to 6 for a trip to the trap range. Our gas tax just went up another 6 cents a gallon too. Something like 44 cents/gallon just in state tax, plus iirc 18 cents for the feds.

Nope, they will move one town over and save not having to pay $15 per hour to boot.
