Gun Control & RKBA

Washington has state preemption concerning firearm laws. Seattle simple did not have the right to pass the so-called "gun violence tax."

It doesn't matter if the law passed unanimously, is supported by all of Seattle, is only a minor financial inconvenience, and is the best darn gun law ever devised by the imperfect hand of man, it will still be struck down because the city did not have authority to enact such a law.

If Seattle wants a "gun violence tax," they need to convince the state legislature and governor (although if such a law passed, it would indeed be challenged on constitutional grounds).
