The Tacoma City Council has passed a resolution imposing new taxes on firearms and ammunition. This includes a $25 tax on firearm purchases and per-round taxes on ammunition (2 cents for .22 caliber and smaller, 5 cents for larger calibers). The speaker argues this is unconstitutional, violating both federal and state rights, despite a Washington State Supreme Court ruling in 2017 upholding such local taxes. The new tax is set to take effect in July 2020.
