25% is pretty darn steep. On a $500 pistol, thats $125. If 8% sales tax, thats $40 more - for a total of $665. ouch!

Might want to check your math Singlestack-article says $25.00, not 25%.
However it is a foreboding sign, notice how it says "First city in the country".
If O gets a second term look for this kind of crap nationwide.
We know that he and his stellar AG are very much against private firearms ownership.
A second term will see an anti American Marxist unleashed..........
Article showed $25 per gun. This may just be the beginning.Quote:

I see a $25.00 tax... not 25%Quote:
Under the plan, Cook County, Ill., will impose a $25 tax on each firearm sold. The tax is expected to raise $600,000 in revenue in 2013.
which is a huge difference
Didn't, or are they still charging $10 at gun shows for a BG check?Quote:

I don't think they are going to make hardly anything.
It's not about making money to these people. It's about selling fewer guns. Any money made will just be a bonus.Quote:
