Shocker: Seattle’s ‘Gun Violence Tax’ Didn’t Work, Firearm-Related Deaths DOUBLED

Wondering how to handle a delusional gun control activist like a total boss? Watch and learn.

Tucker Carlson interviewed gun control advocate Mark Glaze and questioned him on Seattle’s completely ineffective gun tax. (That’s right– Seattle actually implemented a $25 tax on firearm purchases and an additional $.05 tax on every round of ammunition.) The gun tax was supposed to reduce gun violence, and– SHOCKER– it didn’t work. Firearm-related deaths actually doubled, even though firearm sales dropped. Oops.

“I’m merely noting the obvious, which is the gun tax didn’t make the city any safer,” Carlson said. “What’s the point of any of this…if it doesn’t make the city any safer? That’s the whole point. Right?”

Glaze argued that everyone KNEW the “gun violence tax” wouldn’t actually stop gun violence. It was about research. Duh. Tucker completely called him out on that BS, and I love him for it.

“Again, the whole point of all of this…is to reduce gun violence — and it doubled,” Carlson said. “So it’s hard to take you or people like you seriously if you don’t let the data drive your conclusions. And the date here are really clear, crystal clear. This didn’t work, so why would you still support it?”

Glaze didn’t stand a chance.

Democrats refuse to own up and admit that this idea was completely stupid and completely ineffective. Instead, they’ll double down and probably say it didn’t work because the tax wasn’t big enough or something. Just wait.
