davel501 Posted February 13, 2019 at 04:07 AM Share Posted February 13, 2019 at 04:07 AM Think how much money they would have to combat bullying in schools if they taxed every Facebook status $10, every comment $5 and every reaction $1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longrange454 Posted February 13, 2019 at 02:02 PM Share Posted February 13, 2019 at 02:02 PM I remember years ago when Senator Monahan (sp) " If we can't legislate guns away we'll tax them out of existence." Glad he's long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE KING Posted February 13, 2019 at 04:38 PM Share Posted February 13, 2019 at 04:38 PM I would really like to know what the Youthbuild Assistance Fund does and who it is for. Is this another program for Chicago that the rest of the state has to pay for. If it is then let Chiraq pay for it's own program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will discourage new gun ownership by raising costs (taxes) and also discourage new gun ownership with propaganda to the youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So these idiots want to tax all the stuff you can buy in any out of state store and legally bring into Illinois. I doubt they'll collect much with this tax.

Just some guy Posted February 14, 2019 at 07:03 PM Share Posted February 14, 2019 at 07:03 PM This isn't about creating revenue. It's about raising the expense of exercising our 2A rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted February 14, 2019 at 08:03 PM Share Posted February 14, 2019 at 08:03 PM This isn't about creating revenue. It's about raising the expense of exercising our 2A rights.Just like the Crook county tax that Ms Preckwinkle put on ammo. I’m sure the revenue is close to nonexistent. It’s really about curtailing your Constitutional rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
