We've got the same crap here in Chicago. It's a $25 tax per gun. The tax goes to pay thug medical bills because they don't have insurance. So you know what most people do? They just buy online and do an FFL transfer to avoid the fee.
The fee has really hurt local gun shops, but I'm sure the antis are okay with gun shops closing.
We've got a 5cents per round of ammo tax as well.
I love this city, but hate the politics here. The Democrats act like they care for everyone, but all they really want is your money to line their pockets.
5 cents tax per round? Thats 50 bucks on 1,000 rounds!
It would be nice if the gun control freaks would live in China or another socialist / communist country without a right of the population to bear arms. After a few years, they may decide the 2nd amendment isn't so bad.
Some of the most transparent and least corrupt countries in the developed world have restrictions on firearms. Surprise, surprise....and their people actually want these laws, because they work! As evident by the fact America has one of the highest homicide rates in the developed world. Canada, Australia, Germany, England etc look at us and say....no thank you, but you can keep your guns.

I guess most Chicagoans get their ammo elsewhere.
It's the same in Seattle, 5 cents a round for anything bigger than .22, 2 cents for anything smaller. The tax was supposed to raise between $300,000 to $500,000 a year, but the city refuses to say how much it brought in, only saying its less than 200,000, and gun dealers say only about $100,000. Dealers outside the city limits are doing great though...
Resist the temptation to read Alt Left rags. Let them die a natural death
