... 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.

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.

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

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.
To: Zakeet
The tax is expected to bring $300-500,000 a year to city coffers. As if it would be so difficult to go outside the city limits to buy guns and ammunition.

With Obamacare why is the city of Seattle paying anything for the care of gunshot victims? Sales of guns and ammo should go up in surrounding communities.
To: Zakeet
hopefully the numbnuts do not put a police or any govt exemption on this.

It would make much more sense to tax those with no firearms and ammunition to help defray the cost of their protection.

This plan wouldn’t work very well in California. There aren’t that many gun owners here.
