Cook County mulling "violence" tax on guns, ammo
Illinois, the land common sense forgot. Cook County is thinking of creating a "violence tax" on gun and ammo sales. An aid said something, something, something, nonsense "will help reducing violence".
I bet the gangs there will be pinching pennies for when they buy all those guns legally.

“It impacts law enforcement, both at the city and the county [levels]. It impacts the courtrooms, the public defender and state’s attorney that are in there, the judges that are in there, the clerk of the court that has to sit there, the sheriff’s deputies that are in that courtroom and it impacts the jail — the folks that are sitting there at $143 a day,” he said, referring to the daily cost of keeping an inmate behind bars."
