The Cook County Board of Commissioners reinstated its firearm and ammunition tax after it was struck down by the Illinois Supreme Court in October.
During Thursday’s board of commissioners meeting, members voted to approve an amendment to a previous ordinance dealing with how firearms and ammunition are taxed in order to comply with an Oct. 21 Illinois Supreme Court ruling. More
Cocksuckers
Funnier than shit. So the way I interpenetrate this is they trying to collect taxes from gang bangers. So much fun.
Hey, there’s a big demand for those items in Cook County. Democrats gotta get in on the action and make some dough! C’mon, man!
Hoodrats pay taxes?
Whimsy: Use the guns and ammo tax fund¹ to pay reward money to those intended victims of gun violence who successfully defend themselves by shooting their assailants. Double reward if assailant achieves ambient temperature.
1. Said fund is unconstitutional and should never exist, of course.
Federal Circuit Court will likely overturn this, as they created the original ‘mandate’ that Illinois/Chicago issue CCW permits.
There’s a “Gander Mountain” store originally given many tax breaks to establish itself in Crook County (Hoffman Estates) and until the first time they applied the tax it was a very popular store selling a lot of outdoor needs to include guns and ammunition. The tax killed them and there’s no way they’ll come back from it, especially with this added back in to the mix.
Do I have to pay for my gun/guns that sank to the bottom of the lake??
Supreme Court Justice Mary Jane Theis said in the court’s opinion that any tax on fundamental rights must “establish that the tax classification is substantially related to the object of the legislation.”
So, using the IL Supreme court’s logic, then, a Poll Tax would be OK, as long as the money was directed toward paying for the election? That’s nuts.
^ No @Jellybean, those are now ghost guns.
Oh, c’mon!
The corrupt-o-crats don’t GAF about legality.
Illinois is a slave state – and Chicago is a Plantation.
The slaves will do as they’re told.
These taxes have nothing to do with revenue or limiting the murderous hoodrats:
they are an impediment to the 2nd Amendment – PERIOD.
Slaves CANNOT be armed – they may question the legitimacy of their slavery.
Fuck Joe Biden

izlamo delenda est …
They must do all they can to keep firearms from the hands of their law abiding citizens. Commie bastards.
There are intelligent legal Gun owners in Cook County.
A short drive to border counties, Will, DuPage, Kane or Lake County avoids the Tax and the anti-gun idiots.
In their hive mind bucking the law and continuing to perform evil acts is the illinois democrat way. Always been corrupt.
Guns?
Ammo?
What dream world are they living in?
All the shops tell me everything is out of stock.
(the good stuff anyway)
stop paying taxes
