Just tax us to death with your PC TAX!

Let me get this straight ...........

Collecting more revenues is going to solve the bottom line reasons why gangsters and all the legal drug addicts from your local pharmacy go off on each other?

Right? Got it.

I got the fact you guys will say or do anything no matter how wrong it is to feed your revenue machione.

Now all the IDIOT's in Washington State can have that warm in fuzzy feeling cause by golly that tax will solve people from killing each other.

May you all get on the first leaky ship leaving Seattle's port!






Judge upholds Seattle 'gun violence tax,' dismisses NRA suit

SEATTLE (AP) - A judge has upheld Seattle's so-called "gun violence tax" in a challenge brought by gun rights groups.

King County Superior Court Judge Palmer Robinson on Tuesday rejected arguments from the National Rifle Association and others that Washington state prohibits local governments from adopting laws related to firearms unless those laws are specifically authorized by the Legislature.

Seattle adopted the tax over the summer, modeling it on one in Cook County, Illinois. It calls for adding $25 to the price of each firearm sold in the city, plus 2 or 5 cents per round of ammunition, depending on the type. Officials say it would help offset the costs of gun violence.

One of the plaintiffs, the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation, promised an immediate appeal.
