    Default Chicago gun tax

    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.

    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.
    I see a $25.00 tax... not 25%
    which is a huge difference

    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.
