  • Some words to the wise. Shooting Advice from various Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it:

    A: Guns have only two enemies - rust and politicians.

    B: It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    C: Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.

    D: Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.

    E: Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, t More..

  • Chicago is full of corrupted liberal politicians. And if you believe taxing the guns and ammunition is going to solve all your problems, I have a bridge in Florida I would love to sale you.

    • @Pugnator It won't solve all their problems. It will help them balance their budget.

    • @Pugnator
      Its not supposed to solve any problems. Its designed to take money from the people in order to feed a corrupt government. They say its meant to quell violence but they know better. Thats just a line for the consumption of the masses!

    • @Mitt Romney For President
      Okay, point taken. But..

      Since they are 'animals', why make it easy to get stuff in their hands to enhance their ability for chaos?

  • Sure, tax the crime away...stupid motherfucking people.

    You get the idea, about the time she says "...even ammunition used in illegal activity can be purchased legally", that she doesn't even buy the shit she's selling.

  • The source problem is violent people. Chicago is full of them and they do have a demographic.

    Look at Mexico's gun policy and violence. Taking guns out of people's hands won't solve it. Locking up violent people will.

    She is just ripping good working people off.

  • This right here is why that city is a shithole and will continue to be a shithole for many years to come. People, this useless bitch is the reason why violence will continue to rise. This so called violence tax will do nothing, absolutely nothing. If this stupid hoe thinks that will fix anything, then she better get ready for reality to set in, which off course she will deny.

    And libtards will champion this as a step to "free" the streets of gun crime and guns. (facepalm)

  • The federal government should pass a "violence tax". A heavy tax on these areas that account for the vast majority of America's violent crime. When you leave places like Chicago, you find less crime and violent crime in America than you see in Canada or Western Europe.

    Take a 10% flat tax, and people like this woman will stop creating these violent liberal utopias.
