Seattle Spent More Defending Gun-Tax Lawsuit Than It Collected in Revenue From Tax, Gun Group Claims
'The city has essentially lost money on this scheme because now they have to pay our attorney fees, plus a small penalty'

K, what has changed so far, other than lawyer emoyment? Is the tax repealed? Is there a timeline to do so?

The position that will be taken by the Controllists who pushed for that travesty will be that "but for the gun nuts things would have been fine. The gun nuts stole our money by trying to pry into private information!"

Actually it is the voter's of Seattle who do not give a crap. They keep electing these people. Unfortunately there lack of concern screws up the state as well. IMHO
