[/quote] Hahaha. I had no idea. I think that's a bit funny because I can't see this coming even close to boosting almost any revenue for Illinois, let alone the whole country. This is why our nation is really fucked up. The amount of money we spend. And people think taxes can fix it? Hell no. [/quote] It’s more of a gun control issue, can’t stop the sale of the gun? Stop the sale of ammo instead. Most important thing is to realize they are still trying to push this on us almost 20 years later; they are very patient and will still be trying this in another 20 years if they do not get it passed. Once they have a play in the "play book" they will try it every year from then on, sooner or later it will stick. [/quote]
