” Seattle City Councilman Tim Burgess introduced the tax in 2015. It puts a $25 tax on every firearm sold in the city and up to 5 cents per round of ammunition. The measure easily passed and took effect January 1, 2016.
Comparing the first five months of 2017 with the same period before the gun tax went into effect, reports of shots fired are up 13 percent, the number of people injured in shootings climbed 37 percent and gun deaths doubled, according to crime statistics from the Seattle Police Department.”
They expected to raise up to $500,000 in increased taxes. Estimates place it just at over $100,000 for the year. But the city won’t release any numbers. Or any numbers on their expenditures for where the revenue is supposed to go - increased education on gun safety and health.
It’s costing Seattle more to keep the tax on guns and ammo than what they’re getting in tax revenue since the gun shops moved just outside city limits.
