Cook County commissioners proposed a flurry of new taxes and fees Tuesday as they scramble to find money to stave off planned budget cuts for next year...Well, let's just see--harassing constituent gun owners, destroying legitimate businesses and creating a new financial opportunity for parking lot car trunk sales by already established criminal networks, not to mention driving business and revenues out of Cook County--I wonder if these geniuses could have screwed things up any worse if that had been their intent?
Commissioners proposed...A 10-cents-per-bullet ammunition tax.
Let the gangland turf wars for control of sales territory begin! And then, of course, we can blame the guns even more.

Sounds like gun owners in that area better start reloading.
One thing I don't know: how does one maintain consistency in reloading so as not to adversely affect accuracy?
I'm sure the 10 cent a round tax applies to the only ones as well... Right?
Absolutely, 1894C, if they shoot you, you are then charged personal property tax on the lead possessions that have been transferred to you.
There's a particularly telling line in this article.
Maldonado said an ammo tax "is as close as possible to a sin tax" and could bring in more than $250,000 a year.
So now they're defining the acquisition of ammunition as a sin. I'm also a bit curious as to how they expect to sell two and a half million rounds of ammo a year, when such a huge savings is available just over the county line.
When are we going to get around to putting a tax on proposing bad laws?
That one is a real sin and should be taxed.
Yeah, wanna bet that you morons in CC will see a dime?
We just had a tax on cigarettes go into effect in Cuyahoga to fund the "arts" anyone want to bet what the sales numbers across the border are now? I think Cleveland and Cuyahoga country has a higher overall tax burden that anti-gun heckhole. We've also lost close to half our population lately.
These kinds of things go in the smart people GTFOD and leave the sinking ship of anti-gun utopian dreams and high crime and corrupt clueless government to the sheeple and those living off the government.
Another city that can succeed and become of Canada for all I can. Too bad there's not on a fault line close.
