In a 12-2 vote, with three commissioners absent, the county board approved the amendment, which states all revenue from the firearm and ammunition tax must go toward programs or operations geared toward gun violence prevention. The passage follows an Oct. 21 ruling from the state’s highest court that found the levy was unconstitutional.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, who proposed the legislation, said she believes the tweaks will align the ordinance with the Illinois Supreme Court’s opinion that taxes impeding a fundamental right such as the Second Amendment must be used for a “substantially related” cause. |

Tyrant pieces of **** just don't learn. Miss Prickwrinkle needs to be voted OUT.
NO WAY this next tax will actually be used for "substantially related" causes. Anti gunners are really really stupid (see alec baldwin) so they'll set the stage for another lawsuit. They'll hand the money to some anti 2nd amendment nutjob group and hopefully get sued again because there's NO WAY they can prove this money reduced gun violence. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. — Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788. |
