No
it’s no April Fool joke – Cook County Board President Preckwinkle
today announce the beginning of the $25.00 TAX that will be imposed
on all firearms brought in Cook County.
So
now if you purchase a new gun or want to get a gun to protect
yourself – you must foot in money for the gang member hospital
bills because they want to shoot each other and can not afford to pay
their hospital bills. Gun violence will now cost you more money even
through you are not the one committing it or have anything to do with
it.
And
how does this exactly stop gun violence????
Also
there will be a $2000 fine for not reporting a stolen or lost gun in
Cook County, and a violence prevention fund to supposedly get back
the communities – would that be City communities? – from those
that wage warfare.
“The
Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence thanks President
Preckwinkle and the County board for passing and implementing this
important measure,” said Colleen Daly, Executive Director of The
Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence. “This tax is an
extremely important step toward making the gun industry accountable
for the damage caused by their products.”
And
who is holding gang members accountable?
Why
do taxpayers who are being terrorized by these gang member and their
gun violence – now have to pay so they can terrorized them????
