Noted in the third paragraph of a KOMO News story about the shooting death of a Seattle woman last Friday in the Beacon Hill neighborhood is the fact that the suspect “has nine prior felony convictions,†which disqualified him from legal gun ownership or possession.
It is not a unique problem to the Jet City. Other cities are homes to people who shouldn’t have guns, and one thing those cities all seem to have in common is that “solutions†to the problem of so-called “gun violence†typically impact only the law-abiding citizens who didn’t commit any crimes.
KOMO is the ABC affiliate owned by Sinclair that earlier this year produced a gripping commercial-free documentary titled “Seattle Is Dying.†It addressed the growing homelessness and related drug and crime problems.
Seattle has gone the extra mile to make gun owners unwelcome. Aside from the fact that it is the headquarters city for the billionaire-backed Alliance for Gun Responsibility and Washington Ceasefire gun prohibition lobbying groups, four years ago the city hastily adopted a “gun violence tax†on the sale of firearms and ammunition.

The first last and only "solution" anti gun types have for any situation that pops up is to punish the legal and legit gun owners.
It's the cowards way of avoiding taking on the real issue at hand.
