The National Rifle Association and other gun rights groups sued Seattle over the city’s new tax on the sales of firearms and ammunition, echoing the legal battle that followed a similar measure adopted by Chicago three years ago.

The Second Amendment Foundation Inc. and the National Shooting Sports Foundation joined the NRA and two firearms retailers in Seattle in a complaint alleging municipalities are prohibited from enacting regulations of firearms that aren’t authorized by state law.
