Seattle, Washington, already has pretty hefty taxes on firearms sales, but city lawmakers unanimously approved a new bill to raise those taxes by a significant margin.<\/p>\n

The proposal was introduced last month by Council President Tim Burgess and was approved Monday with an 8-0 vote. Currently, Seattle\u2019s taxes on firearms sales is 9.6%, but when the measure takes effect Jan. 1, 2016, residents can expect to pay an additional $25 for all firearms and .5 cents per round of ammunition. <\/p>\n

Burgess introduced the bill under the guise of \u201cgun safety,\u201d though it\u2019s difficult to see how pilfering the pockets of gun owners correlates to a reduction of gun-related crime. <\/p>\n

\u201cCity government can and must pursue innovative gun safety measures that save lives and save money,\u201d said Burgess. \u201cAs it has in other areas of policy, Seattle can lead the way in local solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The anticipated $500,000 in annual revenue from the new bill won\u2019t be applied to Seattle\u2019s health care obligations on gunshot care, but it will be used to fund research and mandatory reporting programs. <\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s vote attracted a crowd of gun control supporters, including Grandmothers Against Gun Violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife is precious,\u201d said Grandmothers Against Gun Violence member Karen Wickstrand, 72, who marched with nearly 30 other GAGV members on City Hall before the vote. \u201cWhen people are killed for no reason, that\u2019s tragic.\u201d<\/p>\n

But many oppose the increased taxation, claiming it as an assault on civil rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already sued them under the Washington preemption law and won before,\u201d Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Chairman Alan Gottlieb told Guns.com<\/a>. \u201cThey make winning firearms freedom one lawsuit at a time fun!\u201d<\/p>\n

And the National Rifle Association says the new measure will yield far less money than expected. They anticipate it will only serve to ostracize those who are unable to afford it.\u2028<\/p>\n

\u201cThe burden of regressive taxes like the Seattle proposal falls squarely on those that are least able to afford them,\u201d said the NRA\u2019s Institute for Legislative Action. \u201cPersons of means will simply drive outside the city to purchase firearms and ammunition, while those without such options will be forced to go forego their rights or pay the tax.\u201d<\/p>\n
