An interesting Wednesday looms locally and nationally :: 07/14/2015
Wednesday will be an interesting day locally and nationally for Second Amendment activists who will be watching how the Seattle City Council handles a proposed gun and ammunition tax – which one anti-gun reader doesn’t think goes far enough in this morning’s Seattle Times on-line news – and for patriot groups watching the launch of the military’s controversial “Jade Helm” training exercise across several Southwest states, as noted by the New York Times.
Question: Should American gun owners face a federal law that slaps a $250 tax on every round of ammunition, with provisions that ammunition could only be purchased from registered dealers and that anyone “caught with unregistered ammo, found with reloaded ammo or homemade ammo will be charged with a felony?” That’s what one Seattle Times reader who calls himself “JesusisBackAgain” proposed in a comment early this morning in response to the story about the gun tax that appeared over the weekend.
Seattle City Council President Tim Burgess wouldn’t dare to push that extreme. But he does want to slap a $25 tax on the sale of every firearm in the city, and a nickel apiece for every round of ammunition. Another proposal would require reporting to police, within 24 hours, the loss or theft of a firearm, with fines up to $500 for not doing so.
