Chicago gun tax

[copfish]

Most Dealers would pass the "tax" on to he consumer. I can see that kind of tax happening nationwide on ammo and reloading components. "They" may leave the gun issue alone so "they" can crow about how gun friendly "they" are... JMHO

this needs to be challenged.

We already pay 11% for the Pittman-Robertson Act which i am happy to pay because of how the law was written and where the money goes.

This over-taxation needs to be stopped dead in it's tracks.

It's not about making money to these people. It's about selling fewer guns. Any money made will just be a bonus.

Honestly I'm surprised that there are even any gun stores in the county. I remember doing lots of work in that county and tried looking for them so I had something to do to kill some time and I found 1 and that was 5 years ago.

Basically if a gun store wanted to open the neighbors would bitch and complain and the city would refuse them a permit.

I was back there last year and a walmart about 1.5 hours from the city was not allowed to sell certain types of ammo because the old folks in a mobile home park about a .5 mile away were bitching about it being dangerous to sell ammo for a ar15

The f-ing lunacy there was stunning.

It is amazing how stupid runs rampant.

It is amazing how stupid runs rampant in heavily democrat-populated/controlled areas.

Honestly IL isn't that bad south of I-80.... Or in other words the lower 75%.

The rest of IL is pretty much run by the Chicago politicians.

Yep, that is true, I have family about an hour and a half west of chicago.

Same with NY, I love upstate with the open land, lots of trees, good hunting etc. Big cities ruin entire states.

Obamas former Chief of Staff, now Mayor of Chicago. Hey it is Cook County! They probably use the money to buy ballistic vests for themselves. Now Grandma has to pay the political thugs $25 to protect herself from the MUY (minority urban youth) that break into her house! Maybe they will add a "senior discount" to this law, oh yeah and include a "Disabled Veteran" discount too. 100% discount!

South of I-80 = "Down State" Illinois.

Since my job required me to live in Illinois for over 25 years, the only way I like to see Illinois now is by looking in my rear view mirror.

So legal gun owners that committed no crime have to pay healthcare costs from gun violence...
Why don't let everyone pay shit tax for using toilets?
