BeatTheTunaUp 65 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 http://www.guns.com/2015/08/11/seattle-passes-mandatory-gun-violence-tax-on-firearm-ammo-sales/ Can't believe I've haven't seen an alert from any of or NW members. Seattle passed a "Gun Violence Tax" because they underwrite medical bills for gunshot victims to the tune of $17 million. The best part is, the money won't be used to pay for the medical bills, but instead will go towards research and mandatory reporting programs.

XD45 7,124 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Nobody with a brain is going to pay an extra nickel a round for a bullshit tax, and most won't pay the gun tax either. This will close every gun store in the city. Which is exactly the plan. You get the government you deserve. If most people there vote for totalitarian liberals then most people there must want this 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Seattle is hopeless. It's much easier to tear something down than it is to build something up. Most of us gave up on Seattle a long time ago. It will disappear when we have the mega-quake. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Garys4598 1,065 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) While driving home from work yesterday, I heard on the radio that Seattle has also passed an ordinance or whatever, "mandating" that all city or whatever bathrooms be labeled as 'gender neutral'. I bet the muzzie male population there is gonna luv that, when infidel males walk into a bathroom that their slave-woman is taking a crap in. The male mayor of Seattle is the biggest openly bologny-pony smoker and butt-pirate in any public office in the nation. His face looks like a cheese grater was run up and down it a few times as well. Truly, Seattle is a melting pot of the most extreme liberal progressive ideas that I've ever come across. Perhaps I need to get out more?

HB of CJ 1,263 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well ... looking at the bright side of this, (is there a bright side?) most of the voters in Seattle must somewhat agree with this liberal commie bullshiet or they would just elect more sane representatives? But it appears they are not. Seems to me so. Which lead up to my feeble point here. Perhaps in Seattle too many people vote? Voting for their own personal benefit and not for the overall benefit of the city and people? A cure may be for the Sane in Seattle to get to work, vote and win things back? That I dunno fur sures. We continue down the Rabbit Hole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sobrenegade 795 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 All they have to do is raise the tax on cigarettes, alcohol, non-alcohol beverages, videos, movies, fast food, all grocery items and OTC drugs. Repeal the birth control tax and there you have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well they do need another tax to cover the 15 bucks an hour law that made people work less hours so they could stay on the socialist tit. Like it was stated above, fuck'em they voted in the idiots. There are several politicians in SC that will be replaced after the flag BS, from the governor on down. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I live a ferry ride across from Seattle but I haven't bought any gun related item in Seattle since Central Gun on 1st Ave closed about 7 years ago. They think they're smart but they just drive the business to other places and screw the folks trying to make a living in the city. Glad I don't live there.

gunfun 3,931 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 It's all part of a concerted strategy to change the culture, because they've been losing at a cultural level. Increasingly normal people have been recreationally target shooting, most notably young women. People don't fear guns any more, so laws and perceptions have been changing. Positive experience just trumps everything. So they made 594 to make it difficult to just take friends shooting. They have been closing down public lands shooting areas all over the state, and when they can't close them, they make them only open early in the morning. And close them for "fire risk" 2/3 of the year, and elk the other 1/3... This is just more of the same. They want to make guns something weird and foreign to most people, and the biggest voting block is in Seattle. We have to find a way to give those people a positive experience with firearms or they will continue to take away our access. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) It's ironic that they passed this. The number of stores in Seattle City limits that sell ammo make a VERY short list. That would be like Rome taxing yamaka makers within it's borders. Fools.

storm6490 2,768 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I gave up on Seattle entirely when Bill Gates and his commie buddies successfully ran a psy-op on the population and they voted away their gun rights to the point that you can't lend your buddy a gun or exchange rifles in the field. Fuck that shit hole. It's neither Northern or Western anymore. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

read_the_wall 614 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I used to go to a few baseball games each season, but didn't go for about 4 years.I NEVER go to Seattle EVER. Anyway, I went to a game this year and was stunned at the amount of homeless people living right along the freeway everywhere. What a $#@& hole. Garbage everywhere, people pissing and crapping right next to the freeway, unreal The parking lot I used was a restaurant lot used for parking during game hours. The restaurant is closed now and the lot is about 1 inch deep in garbage.unreal what has happened to this city in the last 5 years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had to pass through there about a week ago and saw the same thing. There are tons of tents and piles of trash right up along I5 to the point where you can't travel through the city without having it right in your face. I'm amazed that the city would allow this from a public perception standpoint. Who the hell is going to move to that city when your first impression is that of a disease ridden Hooverville? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the people that are in favor of the tent camps don't live anywhere near them. Most of the tent camps are right inside downtown, under freeway overpasses (I5 goes through downtown) and south of downtown. Just shitty areas overall. The big problem is they harass tourists, and nobody in the city seems to care. They value social ideals over having a functional economy. When I had more friends in Seattle that I used to visit, I would take the ferry over from Bremerton and walk to downtown then take buses further into town. For many years there has been one pedestrian bridge and tunnel that took everybody out of the ferry dock, under the viaduct (waterfront highway overpass) and into downtown.. The tunnel ALWAYS had at least 1-2 bums camped out in the tunnel, there was no way you could avoid them, and most of the time their sleeping bags and posessions spread out took up around 5 sq ft or so. The whole tunnel smelled like piss and shit. Oh look at that... I even found a photo of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yes. They lost at US supreme court, as it discriminated against freely moving between states. However, I think they did "win" on something to the extent that you had to be a citizen of the state for more than a minute to apply for welfare. I had to read all those cases a couple of years ago. I should remember them better. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
