Did I make it in before the GD 'tards criticize them for moving to Washington like the other thread?

Tacoma's City Council didn't listen and passed the fees. Council Member Ryan Mello complained, "I think it is fundamentally unfair for all of us who are non-gun users to bare all of the burden of gun violence in our community."


This is some dumbass logic,how are non-gun users baring all the burden?Do gun users not have to pay taxes
anymore?What a moron.

Given the turnouts in local elections I'd think that 800 workers and their families and friends could easily put city council members out of jobs by running their own people for those offices.

Lakewood is a certifiable shithole....along with Tacoma. Best of luck to Aero, but that state will be the death of them.

You need to remember what Barret did to a police agency.

Love my Aero Lowers & Uppers.

Excellent Quality.

Now if they'd relocate out of Left Coast Washington to someplace more "Free!" I'd love them even more (if that were possible!)

Tacoma expected a windfall of $30,000. At $25 per firearm, thats only 1,200 guns.

I think the math here is way off. But commies arent known for their math skills.

Yeah, it didn't pass my smell test either...so I did some looking.

ATF publishes figures for guns manufactured during a given year, but they are always behind.  The latest one I could find was for 2017.

In 2017, Aero manufactured 79,935 guns. At $25 per gun, that's $1,998,375 (but I'm sure last year they made a lot more than this). This would on top of whatever taxes they used to collect from Aero, of course.  Two million in taxes on top of whatever other taxes they used to get, on top of how many MORE guns they made in the last two years, pretty soon that's serious money.

Suck it, Tacoma.

So they lost out on corporate taxes to not even generate enough extra tax to pay for the annual wage for a cop.
I don't think many of their lawmakers took intro to economics.

The city estimated $30k in taxes from a $25 tax on firearm sales and $0.05 tax on ammo?

Pathetic.


Well done Aero.

If multiple companies did the same thing, and just quietly left, Tacoma would cave in on itself eventually. Starve the beast.

It wasn't just a "police agency."  It was LAPD.

They should have moved to Texas. I would be real happy if Aero moved here not Apple.

It was all agencies in California, just LAPD got hit on the head first.
