Seattle using a gun & ammo tax to drive gun shops out of the city

I've been called clueless, and even I figured it out.

Washington State Supreme court upheld the tax on appeal by an 8-1 margin.

In the majority opinion the judges claimed this was clearly a tax and not an attempt at regulation.

Bleeding heart, snowflake, idiot, ignorant, ridiculous, moronic libtard politicians in Seattle who are afraid to attack the criminal elements is their city who may be their so called constituents. It's the same in Chiraq. Idiot politicians who think more regulation and taxes are going to quell violence in their city. These reprehensible politicians would rather punish the law abiding gun owners rather than the criminals. Everyone knows the criminals openly flaunt gun laws because they know the legal system is broken and criminals are not afraid of laws or potential punishment because most of the time the prosecutors will plea bargain away the firearms violations. Revolving justice at its best!

There will always be liberals. The key is to live where they aren't or don't let them get into power. Electing liberals is a guaranteed way to lose your freedom.

Same theme, different subject. Just read on a chicken forum where Huntington Beach, CA charges a $400 license to have backyard chickens. Just a way to outlaw without actually passing a law that says so.
