Another end run attempt

Post by WEHRedux »

Democrats in Washington state are proposing an added 11% sales tax on all purchases of ammunition, for what they describe as a "privilege," which would not be applied to sales to government agencies.

“A use tax is levied on every person in this state for the privilege of using ammunition as a consumer at the rate of 11 percent of the selling price," the legislation added.

The law would not apply to sales made to "state, local, or tribal governments for the purposes of supplying law enforcement agencies."

Several things. Noticed the mask is even further off by declaring the second amendment a “privilege.” The hypocrisy of waiving the requirement for the racist tools of oppression is glaring. And the courts really should be penalizing politicians for open defiance of their rulings.
