Same $25 per gun and ammo tax as Crooked county, illannoy. A mile further out and your gun is at least $25 cheaper than a misplaced Cabelas.

Yes, but the NFA taxes are not just taxes; you are fingerprinted and put on a gun registration list FOR LIFE. Your name is STILL on the list, even if you transfer your machine gun / suppressor / AOW / SBS / SBR to someone else. It’s a government gun owner registration scheme, plain and simple.

“It’s a government gun owner registration scheme, plain and simple.”

So? This is the USA. Damn near everyone has guns. They don’t need a list to tell them that.

They seem to want to put all business out of business in Seattle.
Same city clowncil voted minimum wage on all business’ in the city limits to be $15. It goes up gradually so the business has about 4 years to move out, before he HAS to pay $15 an hour.

Unless they do what these hypocrites often do - build walls & install gates to insulate THEMSELVES...

the root causes of gun violence

THE root cause? The one and only cause? Same as the root cause for any acts of violence between individuals and/or groups. Confrontation.

Well, there’s that. They won’t soil their OWN nest, but they don’t care what happens to the rest of us. ;)
