Judge upholds Seattle ‘gun violence tax,’ dismisses NRA suit

The measure - one of only a couple of its kind in the nation - adds $25 to the price of each firearm sold in the city, plus 2 or 5 cents per round of ammunition, depending on the type. Officials expect it to raise up to $500,000 a year to help offset the costs of gun violence. The measure is set to take effect next month.

Full Dis-closer here.

When this first came up I pointed out that while it may be legal to impose this tax, it would also be useless, as people will just make their purchases outside of City limits. I still hold this view. For this tax to actually be viable, it has to be imposed on a State wide level.

No heads will explode, for we conservatives know this tax will not do what it is supposed to do and it will not raise the money it is supposed to raise. We will hold up this tax as proof of the failure of liberalism.
