Well Cali is starting it it looks like

[bcannon]

Just seen on CNN that California is imposing a $25 per firearm sold tax and a 5-10 cent per round sold tax - guess I should start reloading before Indiana or the Fed follows suit - anyone have anymore info on this?

 

[Mark-DuCo]

After a quick search on Google, all I can find is the info about when they tried to pass this tax in 2013.

You see, California is a state that takes up a little more than half of the west coast of the continental U.S., but there are two others. One of those states is Washington. In Washington is a gloomy, moss covered city named Seattle, where all kinds of weird things happen.

When has it been?

The revenue would be used for gun safety research and gun violence prevention programs.

...and I'd like to see the money tracked to see if more than, say, 3% actually goes to programs about guns as claimed and the rest into the general fund. Given what kind of programs they would have, it's probably best if no money goes to them...but I suspect the people of Seattle are being lied to, nonetheless.

Probably go to relief from the new minimum wage law. But isn't SAF claiming preemption?

There will be litigation.

I can't speak for Seattle proper, but I've been in some of the surrounding areas. Going after the gun here, as everywhere, is wrongheaded and ignores the real problem. There's a reason why the show "Cops" spent so much time out there. There's this awesome combo platter of tweakers, and wanna be gang bangers that makes for all sorts of fun. Yeah- the legally bought guns and ammo are the problem.

Seattle might as well be in California, it fits right in.

One of my cousins is a Boeing engineer and has lived in Seattle for 30 years. I saw him just this past 4th of July and he was talking about all the negatives about Californians making the move to Seattle. The only positive, he said, is that his house is worth a lot more money, but since everyone else's is to, he can't really afford to upgrade, so it's a wash.

The last smart thing done by the people of Seattle was likely letting the Sonics go rather than cave to big money extortion.

Tax the criminals. They'll pay it.
