Time to throw the 8 council members who voted in favor of these taxes into the harbor

Many on this board think it's a bad idea - "I don't want my representative having to constantly evaluate the Constitutional potential of everything they do." Well, maybe if that bill seems kinda unconstitutional on its face, perhaps they shouldn't get behind it in the first place.
Won’t this just decrease sales inside of Tacoma and encourage ffls relocate to another town?
Of course it will. The article says they are expecting about $30K/year out of this. I can't wait to see them when they get less than half of that. People will simply go elsewhere. Mail order, out of town, load your own, etc.
Liberals are so painfully shortsighted sometimes it's actually funny.
Spot on.
******This new law affects poor people most. I kind of feel the same way about the HQL thing here in Maryland. I got mine the first couple of days it was offered and between taking a course, paying to have the electronic fingerprints thing and other fees I think I paid about $125 or so for everything. I would imagine for someone, perhaps a single mom in a bad neighborhood wanting some protection, it would make purchasing even a cheap handgun much more expensive. I can afford the fee, but I know to many people that live paycheck to paycheck, an extra $125 increase in a product like a firearm is significant, and might keep them from being able to buy one altogether, or end up with something really crappy.
The HQL hurts the poor, who often live in not the greatest of neighborhoods, that have few amenities (except for mebbe Popeye chicken sammiches...that's certainly a plus, I don't see too many Popeyes restaurants in Potomac or Chevy Chase... ), and often live with rats (rats, Demorats, etc..) and other bad hombres.
I'll be pretty pissed if they institute an ammo tax like Tacoma here in Maryland, and will make sure to write a sternly worded letter to my Congressman - who will hopefully not be Elijah Cummings wife, or Quasi Mfume, etc...
As someone else mentioned, this type of tax is almost completely punitive in nature. It took a long time for Maryland to get like this. Hopefully, things will change for the better and the pendulum of crazy we are in now will move towards sanity.
Time to reload.

looks like the FFLs in Tocoma will be relocating outside the city limits. I will be surprised if they receive a dime in revenue. People will just shop outside of Tocoma
