So, long story short, Seattle is going to add a tax to guns and ammo sold there. Even though a state law says they can't. So there!

Washington State will file an injunction, which Seattle probably plans to fight. Not sure what their endgame is, but why do the citizens of Seattle want to make two teams of lawyers rich?

A number of us and the sad to say, 2 remaining gun stores put our points to the city council and while a lot of nodding and murmers of agreement took place it was still voted in 8-0.

Yes the state will quash it just like they did the "no guns in parks" mandate the former mayor put through. So in the end it's a bunch of noise which will just cost the tax payers and have no affect but one. We have a city council election coming and since the info made it into the local papers a good 95% of the opinion posts are that this was a stupid move by the politicos. So there may be a silver lining after all.
