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.

"... to the Muslim fighters, #ISIS will stop trying to kill them and give him a big hug!"
the Muslims are laughing at Obama—and for once, it's hard to disagree with them! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
