Interesting that her name is Prickwrinkle, I see why.
That's as smart as the scheme Oregon has in place to fund children's healthcare with the taxes collected on cigarette sales, while simultaneously trying to get everyone to stop smoking... Then whine and cry and be dismayed when revenues drop because less people smoke or buy cigs in Washington.
The C(r)ook county tax scheme is not an idea to raise revenue no matter what the crooks there say. Remember, McDonald force them to allow private ownership of guns (they had a law that was declare unconstitutional). There was another suit about ranges and gun stores that Chicago lost...so this is a way to get rid of them by just taxing them out of existence. It has nothing to do with revenue...it is the back door to the gun control law that they could not have.
And it's not just objectionable because it's anti-2A, but also because it won't work. As long as Chicago is connected by a system of interstate highways to other parts of the country, their local gun restrictions just won't have any effect on gun violence. Guns and ammo will flood in from Indy, Gary, Milwaukee, wherever. So law abiding Chicagoans and gangbangers alike pay a higher price for guns and ammo. OK. You think the gangbangers care? Besides, they can always buy their guns and ammo outside the city anyway, so all this does is put pressure on the legal gun shops in Chicago. What the antis need is comprehensive national gun control legislation, and they ain't gonna get it. Not under Romney, not under Obama, no time in the foreseeable future. We are strong.
Yeah, because being beaten to death with a pipe or a bat is SOOOO much more desirable than being shot with a 9MM, or .357 etc.Chill. Gun violence = violence using guns, not violence by guns. Just like "dog food" is food for dogs, not food made of dogs. And "auto repair" is repair of the auto, not by the auto.
