Seattle Gun Tax Revenue Falls Far Short of 2015 Prediction More than a year after the Seattle City Council rushed through a “gun violence tax” on the sale of firearms and ammunition, the city revealed Tuesday that its first-year revenues had fallen far short of the projected $300,000 to $500,000, but offered only a general figure of “less than $200,000.” How much less? The city won’t say. http://libertyparkpress.com/seattle-gun ... rediction/

I can't believe it's anywhere above 10 grand. Who is buying and where from?
