The Preckwinkle Tax

http://www.nysun.com/editorials/the-...kle-tax/88250/

 

in Illinois, the House rejected a measure 34-74 that would require people carrying concealed weapons to also carry $1 million in liability insurance. Chicago Democrat Kenneth Dunkin was behind the defeated bill. He said an insurance policy would cost between $500 to $2,000, but Illinois Republicans successfully argued the costs were too high for citizens exercising their constitutional right to carry a gun, and the bill was defeated.

State rep quizzed on guns - Town hall meeting morphs into single issue discussion

FYI - Looks like Illinois Gun Works (Elmwood Park) has gone out of business.

 

Yeah, I got hit with that today, COMPLETE Bull chit, they hit you up for an extra $25 for Chicago Violence Tax (when buying at a Cook County gun store).

 

Sorry to hear about this, I use to shoot there in my early 20s and in my 30s, and went there last year also. Although the ventilation SUCKED, its hard to imagine a gun shop going out of business right now as crazy on fire as the gun market has been.

 

Maybe this,

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Illinois Gun Works Ltd. for 28 alleged health violations following a Jan. 21 inspection referred by the Illinois Department of Public Health that found two gun range operators were exposed to airborne lead levels up to 12 times the permissible level. Proposed fines total $111,000.

Mayor Wants To Get Tough On Drinking, Gambling, Urinating In Public

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that Congress may be forced to take action to limit video game violence.

 

"]Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that Congress may be forced to take action to limit video game violence."

That dealing with video game violence will go A LOT further in saving lives than trying to rape our 2nd amendment rights. Kids who play those games very frequently become vert desensitized to violence in my opinion (and that can lead to tragedies like we saw in Newton, Cn, when coupled with mental illness.)

THere is not an easy solution to the violent gun culture in America, but looking at the exteme violence in the movies and video games, etc., and taking a much stronger stance on mental illness in the Country is a big step in right direction in my opinion. That being said 99.9% of law abiding citiziens who own guns legally is not the problem, and represent some of the most responsbile law abiding citizens in the county, who are the least likely to commit crimes with there guns. All the gun laws in the country don't stop crap, except enhance the criminals abilities to perpetuate their crimes, and take away our right to defend ourselves against those scumbags. Newton, CN, had some of the tuffest gun laws in the County and NONE of them prevented the major tragegy that occured on 12-14-13.

An armed society is polite and law abiding society, and we have to continue to fight hard for our 2nd amendment rights, as these flaming left gun grabbing liberals are never going to give up on this issue!

The average U.S. price of a gallon of gasoline has dropped six cents over the past two weeks, but despite the decline Chicago's fuel ranks as the priciest, according to a recent survey.

The Lundberg Survey of fuel prices released Sunday says the price of a gallon of regular is $3.65. Midgrade costs an average of $3.82 a gallon, and premium is $3.96.

Diesel was down two pennies to $4.05 gallon.

Of the cities surveyed in the lower 48 states, Chicago has the highest rates at $4.05, roughly 40 cents higher per gallon than the nation's average. The lowest average gas price lies in Billings, Mont. at $3.33.

Rockford, IL anti-gun rally turns out… 7?

http://www.gunssavelife.com/?p=6970&...ly-turns-out-7


Story by 89 WLS Reporter Bill Cameron

(CHICAGO) In Washington this week, the Senate takes up gun control and Senator Dick Durbin is assessing what he thinks will and won't pass.

“It’s going to be tough,” Durbin said, but he thinks a few gun control ideas will pass the Senate, including a crackdown on straw buyers.

“Buying guns to give to criminals and thugs to use them in the commission of a crime, those people could face up to 15 yrs or more in federal prison if they did it,” Durbin said. “I think that measure’s gonna pass. I think it has bi-partisan support. School safety - not the NRA version, but another version is likely to pass. More reporting of mental instability to disqualify you from gun ownership - I think that’ll pass too.”

But he’s all but thrown in the towel on an assault weapons ban and perhaps on universal background checks too.
