Those evil people with guns must be taxed.

People will just go some where else to buy what they want/need and Chicago will lose even MORE money. IF not that, a STRONGER black market will meet the needs of the marker and there will be a net INCREASE in crime. (There already is a HUGE black market in illegal weapons and ammo, surely there is just NO ONE STUPID enough to believe that criminals just through the legal hoops to practice their trade)
Not to worry, this sort of stupidity will SOON be part of the National Health System. known as Obama Care. THIS sort of thing is the PRIMARY reason Obama Care was passed, to CONTROL EVERYTHING!!

Just another revenue stream for Chicago. I agree, nothing will change with their crime and murder rate.

I don't think that even THEY think it will bring in much, if any, money. That is only the STATED goal. The REAL reason is to put into place yet another step in the quest to outlaw private firearms owner ship. That is the goal of EVERY Marxist, LiBeRaL and other assorted control nuts out there. TOTAL control of the People, which cannot occur until that final and ultimate 'check and balance', the 'Armed Citizen' is eliminated, no matter how that is done.

I think gun owners should agree to the tax, IF legislators agree to pay a Dumb Ideas tax, an Incompetent tax, and an Overpaid tax, too.

Add to those a "useless tax", an "irrelevant tax" a "disgusting tax" AND and environmental surcharge for wasting air.

Doesn't curb crime, just makes people go elsewhere. The violent guns and crime aren't registered.

Only the registered gun owners will be taxed...crooks,gangsters and murders aren't going to register stolen guns!
