  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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
