Seattle.........leading the charge to a better America!

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-...unition-sales/

This should be good. an extra nickel per round of ammunition and a tariff on each firearm purchased in order to promote "education" and "safety".

I wonder how much of that annual revenue will go to the special interests that are pushing this legislation.

NRA is currently filing suit against the city.

Is it time to secede from the left coast yet?

I seem to recall absolute outrage from the left when similar requirements were proposed for getting an abortion...the double standard, as always, is incredible.

You mean like the slippery slope argument to incest and polygamy in comparison to homosexual marriage?

Racist, you know people are born polygamist, it's not by choice. It's not their fault......

Once the traditional definition of marriage was nixed, all bets are now off. If two persons of the same sex can marry, then why can't several people marry (bigamy/polygamy). Better yet, I can't wait for the following marriages to be legally recognized, since there is no set definition for marriage anymore:

Just Two Mammals In Love

My Husband Is Built Like A Brick Sh_thouse

Better To Have Loved and Lost Than Never To Have Loved At All

How slippery the slope is that the Supreme Court just greased up...
