The city will issue full refunds to gun dealers and gunsmiths who may have been taxed for several decades in violation of state law.

Officials also voted to change city codes to tax the firearms businesses at the same rate as other merchants in the future, and to retroactively subtract the corrected tax amounts from the refunds.
