    A harassment tax.

    This on other hand isn't a bad idea.
    City Council President Tim Burgess has also proposed a new law that would require mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms to the Seattle Police Department.

    People don't report lost or stolen guns? Seems FS to not report that. You can't get insurance to cover a replacement without the police report and if something registered to you gets stolen and used in a crime I'd think the cops would probably pay a visit assuming you may have been involved.

    If stolen, yes. If lost, not the case.

    Sure, they always want the tax but, what about the gun violence?
