... 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 ...

Can states whittle away at the first amendment?

Why is the second amendment a state’s issue?

It shouldn’t at all.

If our founding documents are valid, then they should trump.

Gun laws in municipalities, counties, and states should be invalidated.

There’s something in the water and air in Seattle that makes them so crazy liberal which as we all know is a mental disease. Could be the lack of sunlight too. Whatever it is; I hope they keep themselves in that hole and stay there. We sure as heck don’t want them down here in the Southwest.

Consider: if having a photo ID is an unconstitutional burden on minorities because they cannot afford the free ID (are you chitting me?), then does it not follow that this tax is ALSO unconstitutional, since they cannot afford to exercise their 2nd amendment rights?

Let’s see their argument that the latter is not true but the former is legit. A legal brief in the form of a pretzel, I’m sure.

Poll taxes are illegal because you cannot tax someone for exercising their RIGHT to vote. Taxes on firearms and ammunition should be abolished because you can’t LEGALLY tax someone’s RIGHT to keep and bear arms.

We all know this is about pushing firearms out of Seattle. The schmucks are not going to collect any tax revenue from this.

These idiots are hurting the poor the most. I guess the poor shouldn’t be able to defend themselves.

That is what they do every time with their unfounded policies.

This will do exactly jack and ____ to reduce gun violence in Seattle. They need to focus on their massive drug problem. That will actually accomplish something.
