TACOMA, Wash. -- A Tacoma councilmember wants to put a tax on guns and ammunition in the city.

Councilmember Ryan Mello announced the plan Thursday, saying he's fed up with gun violence.

"In the last 30 days we've had three gun-related homicides in the city of Tacoma alone," Mello said.

He says that is why he's looking to make a change.

"I think in Tacoma we're tired of just thoughts and prayers, that's just not cutting it. We gotta do something."
