Burgess told The Seattle Times he expects the city would be sued if one or both of his proposals become law, because the state prohibits municipalities from regulating firearms.
Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation, says state law makes the proposed Seattle gun violence tax "dead on arrival."
"They're wrong, and they know it," Gottlieb said. "They're just wearing their anti-gun philosophy on their sleeves."
He cited a lawsuit brought by his organization and other parties that in 2010 forced Seattle to scrap a rule banning guns in parks. |

slowly losing the city inch by inch. It's like all the kalipornians that came here are turning it into california, replete with gangland graffiti on all traffic signs from the north end to the south end on I5, and open view homeless. I can remember in the 80s their (LA and san fran) extreme chasms between rich and poor----by design, to keep the riffraff out of their designated enclave: now people are leaving and not buying real estate in seattle with a median price of $500K.

the Muslims are laughing at Obama—and for once, it's hard to disagree with them! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
