So the gangbangers who sell drugs and make enormous amounts of cash will think twice about being able to afford a 25 dollar tax on thier illegal gun? mindnumbing

so, are the youth gangs going to make sure that they buy their guns from legally licensed dealers, which means that they will pay the appropriate taxes on all of their weapons????

Since Chicago already has strict guns laws on the books, I’m surprised this is an issue in the Windy City. (sarcasm) If guns are outlawed, or ammunition outlawed, or all transactions are taxed, that for sure will eliminate the carnage. (more sarcasm)

where firearms now change hands for just $20.

Anybody paying $20 for a gun isn't buying it from a dealer and won't be paying the tax.

Wow, was this a kickback to the black market gun sellers. It sure worked for the tobacco stamp tax. When are we simply going to rid ourselves of these fools who think legislation replaces personal responsibility?

Kind of like saying taxing marijuana will cut down on drug use. ROTFL! Political types are morons. They are the reason why we have so many problems in this country. They ALWAYS think that taxes are the solution to EVERY problem.

They can't seriously believe this. So why do they bother saying it?

That’s how it starts. To tax guns, they need to know who has guns. That’s registration. After registration there’s confiscation.

But not for the crooks and criminals, who the politicians deliberately let keep their guns so they can prey on the productive members of society and do a little “income redistribution.”

Are these people really that stupid?

Anyway, that tax is illegal. Unless of course they are willing to bring back poll taxes...

“You cannot apply a tax or a fee to the exercise of a Civil Right”.

Those idiots must not remember that McDonald v. Chicago incorporated the 2nd Amendment under the 14th as a Fundamental CIVIL Right.

Chicago is going to get raped over this in a lawsuit or dozen.

The Marxist Pflager should be ex-communicated. These people cannot be so stupid as to think a tax will curb gun violence.

The Rahm Emanuel-Obama-Chicago way: Impose a high gun tax on responsible gun owners... and then give free guns to Mexican drug lords so they can kill US border agents and fellow Mexicans.

FOOLS!

The ones that will be paying the tax AREN'T the ones causing the carnage.

Why not just let the gang-bangers pay for their OWN patch jobs, or just leave their thug asses bleeding in the street!
