Just listened to a good interview with a very intelligent spokesman for RKBA .
He is Richard Pearson executive director of the ISRA .
According to RP ,Cook county is putting a $25 transfer tax on all guns sold in Cook county . The irony here is that the money is going to a wing of the anti gun Brady group.

The interview can be heard on Gun Talk with Tom Gresham  . Your search engine dogpile will bring it right up .

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

The largest gun shop that I am aware of (stocks as many as 3000) is in an adjacent county to Cook - they are doubling their size - there will be no additional revenue for the county, it will just drive more, of the already negligible, business to the collar counties

Then they'll want to implement it state-wide to stop that.


That's exactly what happened in MN when the metro areas made smoking bans.
The unfortunate part was half of the bars/etc. that were against it in their counties switched sides in the subsequent state-wide ban.  All so they could keep their own pennies...
