In an 8-0 vote Tuesday night, the city council of Tacoma, Wash., approved new taxes on the sales of firearms and ammunition.
When the taxes take effect July 1, 2020, gun buyers will pay a $25 tax on each purchase, plus 2 cents per round on ammunition of .22 caliber or less, and 5 cents per round on all other types of ammunition, the News Tribune of Tacoma reported.
That’s doubtless in addition to the federal, state and county taxes. This all continues the evolution to make gun owners pariah.
Older white men are the last and only part of the population who can be discriminated against, refused work, and laid off in favor of younger people or people of color. Ask me how I know that.
And gun owners are the last part of the population who can be discriminated against regarding taxation and commerce. We all know this without asking.

I’d open a shop 1 block outside city limits and make a killing! Idiots gotta be idiots.

CO beyond the front range is still God’s masterpiece and it is sad to see the stripmall, subdivision, industrial park model being flogged mercilessly in the front range area.
Scuttlebutt back in the 90s during the reign of Slick Willie and Cankles was that a box of ammo would soon cost $300-$400 no matter what the caliber.
The Long March Through the Institutions has been condensed now and there must be something making them hurry up the plan.
