When I say on my show that bad policies of Seattle have a tendency to spread, I mean it. Look at the latest example out of Tacoma, poised to pass a gun and ammo tax — or, as I call it, a self-defense tax. If you own a gun to protect yourself, under the new legislation backed by Tacoma Councilmember Ryan Mello, you’ll get hit with $0.02 cents per round for .22 caliber or less and $0.05 cents per round of other ammunition. On top of that, gun shops are hit with a $25 fee per firearm sold.

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
