Officials in Illinois' Cook County are eyeing a so-called "violence tax" on guns and ammo -- a move aimed at curbing violence and closing the budget gap, but one that's drawing a rebuke from the gun lobby.

Makes sense, doesn't it guys? I mean, let's tax legal, law abiding gun owners! They're the ones who are killing all the folks in Chicago! Not the sub-human gangbangers shooting randomly into crowds. :shock:

to ALL,

For most of us, we cannot change Chicago. OTOH, we can VOTE every time & encourage our friends, family, co-workers & associates to VOTE & to DUMP all the "progressive DIMocRATS",starting with BHO & going "down-ballot" to the local school board & city council.

Meanwhile, reports are that Mayor Emanuel's son was robbed outside of the Mayor's official residence. Apparently no police were on the scene, and no suspects are currently in custody.

I wish there was some recourse for the state of Illinois for harassing gun owners.
