Cook County proposes "Violence Tax"

okie362 · Oct 9, 2012

So does that infer there would be a refund/reward when someone used guns and/or ammo to STOP a violent crime?

I know the answer but I subscribe to risk/reward methodologies.

OK...I'll STFU now

There's a reason the rest of Illinois wants to break Chicago/Cook County out into it's own state.

A cook county corruption tax would be better.

That would be right. My bad on the location. Regardless, a violence tax is a bs deal.

Yeah, taxing legal gun and ammo sales is a great idea. Because we all know that gangbangers buy their guns at legitimate gun stores and would be happy to pay this tax. :doh:

Did they ever stop to think that people would buy in a different county, meaning less tax revenue?

okiebryan · Oct 9, 2012

They probably have a way to stop that. Everyone in IL has to have a FOID (Firearm Owners ID Card) to purchase firearms or ammunition in Illinois. They will just make it illegal. Which will cut gun crimes down, because criminals obey laws. Wait...my head just got locked in and endless loop and exploded.

They sell guns and ammo in cook county?

The WX that way does not look for good for this weekend. I may have to drive through IL rather than fly over. Not happy about that. Fill up and have a snack while becoming Un-American before St Louis, pull over at the "Welcome to Indiana" Sign. I wonder if we could get an amendment to the constitution to allow IL to secede from the union like Texas has. It might cure a lot of problems, and we could make a choice of which way to go and not put up with them. Tennessee has Yingling beer. I might be forced to go across that way and make a stop on the way back.

Meanwhile, there have been 400 shootings so far this year in Chicago.

Once again, the people who will be burdened are people who obey the law.
