Ammo Tax Coming
Word is that on Monday, Toni will attempt to tax ammunition, perhaps excessively so, in an attempt to drive gun dealers completely out of Cook County, denying dozens, perhaps hundreds of people actual jobs in a legitimate, legal enterprise.
Meanwhile, car dealers continue to operate with impunity, despite killing thousands more in Illinois than guns ever have.

Who buys ammo in Cook County nowadays???
FUCK toni, go to GAT GUNS in KANE COUNTY and she can lose more money that could've gone to Crookcounty
So. Purely rhetorical question ;Are Police officers going to get an exemptions from this increase?
Is the city going to begin supplying us with duty ammuntion,as well as target ammo?
OF COURSE NOT!!
Put a tax on prescription drugs - they are killing more people than guns AND cars.
Guess when you go up to Kenosha to the Outlet Mall for clothes and stuff, you'll have to drive to up to HWY 50 to Gander Mountain to get Ammo at 5% sales tax.
That will make the trip even more worthwhile in saving on Cook County Taxes.
Time to tell Cook County to CUT SPENDING. Cut the Budget!!
Perhaps they as in "toni the liar" are trying to levy a new tax because they are about to lose the lawsuit over the $25.00 per firearm sold in Crook County tax........Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
And they will be sued for this one I am sure , Yes it is illegal to use economics to interfere with my rights and yes that includes the Second Amendment.
Funny this comes from the same crowd that decrees photo ID's as causing economic hardship to poor voters and thereby restricting their right to vote.
She wants to excessively tax the legal exercise of a Constitutional right, while supporting reduced punishment for those convicted of crimes (beyond those involving drug convictions)?
What a strange and immoral "leader".
i always drive out of the county anyway.-for almost everything.
Indiana will thank you Toney PrickWrinkle.
How about going after folks that lease or buy cars out of state? You'll see many like that from Indiana.
Just as the gun tax did, it will drive purchases out of the county. Great business decision. We have the dumbest politicians and even dumber voters who put them in office. Escape occupied Chicago, Crook County and ILLnois if you can.
Who cares? I buy ALL my ammo and guns outside the County. Why would I give these assholes (the County) any of my tax money?
I'm surprised they aren't looking at throwing some new taxes on all the boat harbors in Chicago. Now THERE is a tax that won't effect many Chicagoans. Tax the RICH, suburban guys!
How about higher fees at the Golf Courses? Or, just charge a buck a club for any new purchases of golf clubs at any retail store?
How about a $1 textbook tax at all the Universities' bookstores? Now THERE is a pretty creative tax. Tax the students trying to learn more.
Keep taxing people and no one will set foot across the County line.
I don't care what Toni Fartwinkle taxes anymore. I learned to shop outside of Crook county. I live in the city but work near the Indiana border, so I learned to shop there as well.
Gas, food, clothes, medication, home supplies, tires from Costco and of course Upon retirement in a few years I will be relocating out of state like most of my other city colleagues.
Fartwinkle and 9.5 are taxing everyone into moving out of the area.
That is ok, her authority ends at the county line. I don't purchase anything in Cook County anyhow.
I thought this has been tried and found unconstitutional. Oh wait, that never bothered gun-grabbing, corrupt politicians before. Nevermind.
F****ng commie bitch.
She won't be the first big city/county to try it, San Francisco and a couple of other lefty run cities did, after they stopped the SLAPP suits against gun makers. Those "wily Dems" figured they'd skirt the new law and bankrupt ammo manufacturers. They wound up in court and lost. See Minneapolis Star Tribune vs. County Assessor that went to SCOTUS for the reasoning. A big tax on printer's ink was judged a clear abridgement of the 1st amendment.
I bet there won't be much publicity when the broke County has to write a 6 or 7 figure $$$ check to the NRA, Second Amendment Foundation and ISRA for legal fees. For that kind of money I hope they at least send her a XXXL T-shirt and a thank you note.
Car dealers??? How about the licensing of establishments who's sole purpose is to provide alcoholic beverages to customers. They do not exist for anything but to get people intoxicated and then drive away. You want to drink? Drink at home. The city needs to be held accountable for anyone killed or injured after leaving a city licensed establishment who's sole purpose is to get people drunk.
Now you did it SCC...
Prickwinker read this post and as of Monday, anyone with a Ford Taurus, Dodge's Magnum, Colt or Caliber will now have a new Crook County tax applied.
Then again,she could certainly balance the County budget if she only followed up on the South and West sides with purchases of Colt .45 Malt Liquor.
(and brown paper bags)
I'll drive to Cabelas in Hammond and buy in bulk. She can tax the county all she wants.
John Daley, your neighbors will be closely watching your vote on this. Do the right thing! These political taxes are why hard working people are leaving this city!
Zogg's boogers are bullets.
Which is why I continue to drive every other week or so to Cabela's in Hammond, IN to buy very reasonably priced and low taxed ammunition, while on my way to visit family in Indiana. Oh ya, I also buy groceries, other household supplies, and more ammunition at the new Wal-Mart across from Cabela's. Oh, and about once a month I swing over to the Costco in Merrillville, IN to get more food, bottled water, and other household items at lower prices and tax rates. And of course I fill up my gas tank and few 5 gallon gas containers at about 20 or 30 cents less per gallon that Crook County gas stations on every occasion that I am in Indiana. All of these purchases are made at lower tax rates while helping red state Indiana's economy! The liberal leaders in Illinois will never learn, Hahahaha!
If you noticed, they are not saying "gun control" anymore. They are calling it "gun safety". The "gun safety"issue must be addressed, according to the politicians.
That's another thing that tells you to leave!
If you buy a car anywhere else outside of crook county you still have to pay the crook county tax!
Just as bad as chiraq.
I LOVE reading the blog every morning over coffee and thank GOD everyday that I moved the fuck out of Illinois when I retired!! I love it when the UPS man comes to my house with boxes and boxes of ammo..............and free shipping most of the time too!!
BrokeWrinkle can't tax the brown people for committing the crimes with illegal guns, impose a fine or put even them in jail.
So the only solution is to get the honest joe to pay, of course rather than cut the pork, dump some of the excessive executive staff and not steal from the govmint DHS grants.
Crook County needs a GoFundMe account. Oh wait, they already have one, in called Property Tax on Homes over $250,000.
That's OK by me. I haven't shopped in Chicago in year's. I Indiana & Wisconsin get my business also mail order. Even if those States taxes were double, I'd rather give it to them. At least they won't piss it away.
Just one more thing I buy else where. Just one more reason I can't wait to move out of here. I will live else where with my money just fine......
Who is going to live here in the end. They are just driving people out. Tax, tax, tax and more tax!!!!
Toni tried this before at election time . Shields and Dougherty contacted her and she agreed to give LEO exemption . What will Dean do ?
Gassed up this morning was $2.23 a gallon, thank god for Homer Township.
The gas in Cook County $2.65.
You can't have ammo shipped to Cook County. I have a friend who lives outside of here and he can buy all the ammo he wants on line....
Toni... On the wrong side of the argument ..again

amen, brother.....already left Illinois, and will never return.....
In ZOGG we trust!!!
I buy my cigarettes and my gas in Indiana I pay $56 for a carton of cigarettes in Chicago that would be over 100 I get gas and $.30 a gallon cheaper in Indiana tanning cook county that is why I go to Indiana for all gas and cigarettes save myself over $70
Seriously, what kind of money do you think you can raise, how about spending less.
How could that be legal? That would be like paying a tax to vote, a poll tax which was ruled unconstitutional.
dont forget mcdonalds and BK, heart disease and obesity

Shhhhh! Don't let the secret out.
Been doing the same for years, only thing I buy in Chicks are lettuce, tomatoes etc.
Check out Meijors supermarket in Highland, IN , its a short trip down 41.
Means nothing to me as I buy the majority of my products out of this city, county and sometimes in Indiana or Wisconsin, where available!
Be stupid Cook County! Suck ass place to live in!
I buy my ammo online.
Comedian Chris Rock joked about a "bullet tax" years ago. Is that where Preckwinkle got this idea ?

Join the NRA and support the second amendment. Coppers are jagoffs for not joining.
Tax "assault beverages." Heavily.
Fortified wines <$ limit, huge single-sellie cans of "high-gravity" "malt liquors," 40-and-over ounce bottles of yellow, alcohol-augmented pre-pee, and so forth. All these sit-on-a-milk-crate-and-howl concoctions.
Makin' 'em wild, Joe. Sure is.
Of course, they're slugging down and puking up Hennesey all over someone else's back seat while they fumble with an AK and a blunt (which they will drop in their crotch), but it's a "good first step."
"If it saves even one life..."
Inescapable logic, no?
Let's not forget funding for overnight camping in the Cook County forest preserves.
Tax those shit box car dealers on south western ave... The majority of those cars 99 to 1 are operating on the oil they rolled off the assembly line with
Tax me right out of here.....

Let's not forget interstate covenants, get in a tight here and run like hell to your people's luxury multi-bedroom Sec. 8 arrangement in Superior, Wis.
Strength of numbers, of association. Always got somewhere to go. Live inside a $600 smartphone, always know the score.
"Camping," s__t. No hardhead ever sleep under no bridge. Take-out food, drinx, kush, and someone's cousin's cousin, "Ain't he cute?."
"The majority of those cars 99 to 1 are operating on the oil they rolled off the assembly line with..."

Watchoo don't mess with that. It gettin run in now. That form a seal, you see.

Overall? No. No way in hell. I call complete bulls__t. My blood pressure meds, my stomach acid-blocker, my anticoagulant bothering you, sport?
Very specifically? Class II mild opioid pain medication that they INSIST be mixed with acetaminophen, rat poison. Probably vastly more people die from the hepatotoxicity (wrecks your liver) of the APAP. Never get anywhere NEAR a dangerous dose of the active principle, hydrocodone or whatever. Hardly enough to do you any good, even.
Just took another light Norco for this 25-year-old shoulder injury.
Kind of thing that will never bother you as long as you don't move.
Simple, right? Not addicted, not gone mad, not gone to heroin, wandering streets, etc., don't need every day, just try to remember hold arm close to body as I type here and just don't reach for anything as you would in normal life. Light dose = still hurts just as bad, but you tolerate it slightly better. I know, you don't.
Turn reflexively in sleep to pull blanket over you a little more and GAAAA! Now you are all the way awake...they are right, make the old folks go back to the doctor every single month in bad weather for a few pills. That will clean up the lethal hepatitis-hedgehog of used needles sticking out all over in our city parks.
I guess that one-per-hour OD extravaganza ended when the batch ran out, huh? Probably Fentanyl mixed with heroin again. Only seemed to last a few days...
While ignorant twentysomething "aides" lecture and count beans at the pharmacy, and doctors make life miserable for regular patients, El Chapo is digging railroad tunnels under our border to bring in hard smack...look it up.
Can't stop Chapo, slingers, junkies, crazies, so aim gun real low at regular pharmacy customers you can easily find...so what else is new.
Fool.

Oh, yeah, they must have thought that was clever. Just bending our language around some more.
Never mind -- 20,000 or more federal, state, and local gun laws on the books already, and every new one is still a "good first step." Been watching this go for how many decades now...
Love ya, SCC! "Busy news days," and right in there with it all. Not easy, we know.
We're gonna send Whatshername over with her Glock and her cheek stud and her massive cellulite to motherf__k you in her horrible shrill voice, right on your doorstep, cheer you up some.

God bless. Stay safe. Everyone.

"Prescription drugs."
Just like that. "Prescription drugs," period.
In that case, I call bullshit.
You still get another chance to realize what you just said.
She's going to come up with a cook county resident who shop's in Indiana tax next.
"How about higher fees at the Golf Courses?"
11/08/2015 08:03:00 AM
Someone told me there are TWO HUNDRED golf courses in this county.
We can expand the morgue coolers again.
"Tee off for DEATH!"
>whap<
Cabelas will never let this happen. They opened a store on the western edge of Crook County and sell guns and ammo everyday there. They willtake Crook County to court and when just like they did when this was tried before.

Yes, but most will not ship to Cook County
This is not a new idea. Aurelia Pucinski was running for some Cook County post and proposed a 10,000% (ten-thousand percent) tax on ammunition. Ms. Pucinski can still do the Bill of Rights some harm as she is Appellate Judge Aurelia Pucinski
First District, 3rd Division.
Hmm...OK who buys ammo in the county? Who buys anything in the city, county?
The bullet tax would be 5 cents per round for "centerfire ammunition" and 1 cent per bullet for "rimfire ammunition."
This goes up for a vote on Friday,

They'll ship to Cook County, just not Chicago.
If it hasn't already happened I am willing to bet that there will be a lot of counterfeit ammunition smuggled in from China, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Just like the phony Viagra and other prescription drugs.
