I would like to know who the "international law firm" is who's willing to do this for free. I smell Bloomberg in this.

Not sure if this is germane to the subject, but guns carry an excise tax that is built into their price. Taxing of a firearm would also be taxing the portion of the cost that is the excise tax, resulting in a case of double taxation.
(Maybe that's not the right term; Am I being too simple minded again?)

Tennessee has a current ammo tax (10 cent I believe). But I heard sales tax doesn't apply to ammo there, or something like that. So it kinda evens out if that's correct. Plus the Tax there goes to agriculture and wildlife I believe.

In the meantime, Mr. Holmes refuses to prosecute cases involving public drug usage, and complains publicly about 'out-of-control cops' doing their duties. Apparently, in his jurisdiction, crime can be controlled by allowing criminals to do whatever they want, while inanimate objects hold responsibility.

Kilimanjaro, at least Holmes is consistent in asserting that state laws he dislikes shouldn't apply in Seattle.

Seattle elected officials trump state law? Good information to know. Strangely, I'm liking portland more better lol... I'm just gonna go insane I guess. Maybe the mayor of centraila can moderate the proceedings
