GASP! Seattle gun violence tax a failure

[Dave Workman]

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.

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

Outdoor Emporium has already reported $60k+ in gun/ammo tax revenue - but way more in lost sales/sales taxes...so it's definitely a net loss for the city.

A small price to pay in order to maintain a failed ideology.

This should be Seattle's next campaign slogan!
