Criminals will NOT pay the tax.

Twenty five bucks won't keep those drug yayhoos away from guns. They can make that $25 in 60 seconds on the street corner.

Who are they kidding? Themselves?

Why is government so damn stupid anyway?

I hope OBAMA does not order HOLDER to ship the guns into Chicago left over from those of FAST and FURIOUS.

Ok, from what I remember from the map of Illinois, the city of Chicago takes up most of Cook County. Gun sales are illegal in Chicago. So how many gun sales are really effected here? Must be a real financial windfall for the county. I doubt that it's going to buy the county commissioners gas for their cars. Just another feel good exercise to make the populace think that they're being protected from something.

All Americans can rest easy now ... the liberals will TAX AWAY VIOLENCE ... no REPUBLICAN would / could have ever thought that one up.

Welcome to Socialism. Forward is the new Backward.

There were more abortions performed on blacks in Cook County than blacks killed in gun violence ... but we can not tax women getting abortions as that would be against women's healthcare which all the Democrats are really concerned about ...

I can hear it now as the criminal shoots someone else, " Best 25 bucks I ever saved"! It's about the money!

The do good liberals are concerned about blacks killed in gun violence ... while PLANNED PARENTHOOD kills 350 BLACK BABIES everyday in the USA ... that is 7 per day per state x 365 days per year ... GO FIGURE ...

Lets just give all our money to the government and they can give back the money they don't need

Stupid anti-gun nuts. Makes it a little bit more expensive for law abiding citizens to purchase a gun for protecting family and self. So all a person needs to do is drive to the neighboring county and purchase a gun there. This tax simply drove business out of the county and into neigboring counties. If I lived in some of those areas I would damn well have means of protecting my family. Being defenseless is being negligent to ones family.

Stupid Chicago liberals should be swimming in new taxes. They just love to tax and spend.

I think a tax revolt is brewing in this country.

What exactly would the Federal Government do if millions of Americans just said no??

The 25 dollars is low only to get their foot in the door. Every year from now on there will be one increase after another and no matter how much they raise the tax the spending will increase faster than revenue.

I wonder when pointed sticks will be "taxed"?

10 dire consequences of Obama’s re-election victory

Mike Adams
Natural News
Nov 7, 2012
As of this writing, it looks like Obama has a lock on the electoral college victory, although it simultaneously appears he has lost the popular vote to Romney.
What does an Obama re-election mean for the next four years in America? Now that he’s in his second and last term, of course, Obama no longer needs to restrain his actions according to popularity. He can simply unleash any desirable executive order and rule by decree, bypassing Congress as he has frequently promised to do.
This puts America in a very dangerous situation, given Obama’s well-demonstrated desire to destroy freedom and liberty in America. Remember: Obama is anti health freedom, anti food freedom, anti GMO labeling, anti medical freedom and anti farm freedom. He’s the one who issued an executive order claiming government ownership over all farms and farm equipment, in case you forgot that little fact.
He’s also the guy who just recently issued an executive order merging Homeland Security with local corporate entities to grant the executive branch of government a power monopoly over the nation, bypassing the courts and Congress. You probably haven’t even heard about that one, because he secretly signed it during Hurricane Sandy.
Given Obama’s atrocious track record on freedom during his first four years in the White House, here are my top 10 predictions for the next four (if America even lasts that long before ripping itself apart):
#1) Huge expansion of TSA and the surveillance state
Watch for TSA to expand its occupation of America by setting up checkpoints on roadways, sporting events, malls and “surprise” locations. Expect to see TSA agents become even more belligerent and lawless as they ramp up their sexual molestation of innocent victims.
#2) Expansion of secret arrests of American citizens
Obama secretly signed the NDAA, legalizing the secret arrests of U.S. citizens while denying them due process. Obama also authorized secret “kill lists” that claim to authorize the U.S. government to assassinate targeted individuals.
With his re-election in place, expect Obama to start issuing a mass of “kill orders” that will even start targeting political opponents.
#3) Acceleration of national debt blowout and endless fiat currency creation
Under Obama, the national debt experienced a massive blowout where Obama added trillions of dollars to the existing debt: www.USdebtclock.org
Right now, Obama is overseeing a trillion dollars a year in additional debt — an amount that simply cannot be sustained without running smack into a financial catastrophe. It now appears that financial collapse it going to occur under Obama, not Romney.
#4) Rapid expansion of GMOs and USDA collusion
Monsanto and the biotech corporations have thrived under the Obama administration thanks to USDA collusion and scientific fraud.
Over the next four years, expect GMOs to dominate the U.S. food supply while the Obama White House rejects any effort to try to label GMOs on a national basis.
#5) Increasingly dictatorial government health care
Obamacare will grow like a cancer, pushing Americans into mandatory vaccinations that inject children with mercury, formaldehyde, MSG and aluminum.
Look for the Obama administration to wage even more wars against raw milk freedom, farm freedom and food freedom, all while requiring yet more foods to be pasteurized or fumigated under the guise of “food safety.”
#6) Immediate surge in sales of guns and ammo
Obama has promised to try to destroy the Second Amendment and deny Americans the liberty to own firearms. With his re-election, expect to see a massive surge in gun sales as more people attempt to stock up in anticipation of gun bans (or government gun confiscation).
#7) Accelerated erosion of the Bill of Rights and civil liberties
Under Obama, civil rights, human rights and the Bill of Rights will be rapidly eroded. This goes hand in hand with the cancerous growth of government. As government expands its power and confiscates more economic resources, it simultaneously destroys individual liberties and due process.
This isn’t to say that Romney would have been any better, of course. Both candidates were philosophically invested in the rapid expansion of Big Government.
#8) Continued destruction and looting of the U.S. economy
Under Obama, the financial looting of the U.S. economy by the global bankster elite will continue. The same would have been true with Romney, by the way.
Under Obama, America’s unemployment rate will continue to head skyward, entitlements will be expanded, and the USA will be plunged into a tyrannical welfare state dominated by mindless zombies who have no cognitive grasp of reality.
#9) A “giant sucking sound” of employers leaving America
Ross Perot was right! That “giant sucking sound” is the sound of employers leaving America in droves, hiring offshore workers instead of creating jobs in the USA. And why? Because employers can’t afford to pay Obamacare mandates and still stay competitive in the global marketplace.
#10) Stepped-up attacks on veterans and preppers
Returning U.S. veterans will continue to be vilified by the Obama administration, to the point where even more veterans will be arrested as “terrorists” for engaging in fundamental preparedness strategies such as storing food, water, medicine and ammo.
Watch for the liberal media to join the White House in painting veterans as “dangerous” individuals needing psychiatric medications. Never mind the fact that the media owes preppers a huge apology in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

I don't live in Chicago but this is BS!

Nothing good comes from Chicago. They have lost it.

Once again tax the honest man to PAY for criminals........ excellent stupidity!!!

So how many people get hurt in car wrecks that tax payer have to foot the bill? I guess the only way to get that money back would be an extra $25.00 tax on license plates on the cars. Right? I wonder how many of the Idiot Leftards are willing to eat that tax? Looks like they are for any tax, except the ones they DON'T have to pay. I loved to comment above, Taxing people Safer. I wonder if you can tax people to be Healthier? $25.00 tax on a gallon of Ice Cream?

One more way to pay the multible pensions that Chicago pays out.

Chicago is a cesspool of jerks, Chicag is loosing it. Lets see how many criminals will pay the tax?

Rahm Ihmamuel should ax OBAMA to ship a few Predator Drones to Chicago to add surveillance ... if gun violence is detected they can take out the whole street just like OBAMA does to the ARABs.

This is the Jesse Jackson Jr./Blago tax. Chicago politicos and brain dead electorate need the money to pay the teachers' union so that they can continue to pump out functional illiterates and kick back to the most corrupt political machine on earth. LOL

Will this tax end when Obamacare goes into effect, since the reason for the tax is to help pay for hospital costs for deadbeats in Chicago that do not have medical insurance now.

Let them tax themselves to death...peolpe will eventually get fed up.......

What a bunch of CRAP! Chicago residents are lead by FOOLS! and follow like sheep to the slaughterhouse.
