Chicago gun tax

[Singlestack]

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.

Didn't, or are they still charging $10 at gun shows for a BG check?
Chalk up the "tax" to administrative cost, Chi-town and other gun "friendly" cities will run as long as they can with it.

What fools.... There are hardly any gun stores in cook county. They pretty much drove them all out. I know of ONE and he was right on the edge of the county. There might be a few more but not many.

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.

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.
