"Chicago reinstates gun and ammunition tax after court deems it unconstitutional"

The Cook County Board of Commissioners reinstated its firearm and ammunition tax after it was struck down by the Illinois Supreme Court in October. During Thursday's board of commissioners meeting, members voted to approve an amendment to a previous ordinance dealing with how firearms and ammunition are taxed in order to comply with an Oct. 21 Illinois Supreme Court ruling.

The Oct. 21 opinion struck down the tax because it impeded on citizen's Second Amendment rights. However, Illinois Supreme Court Justice Mary Jane Theis said in the court's opinion that any tax on fundamental rights must "establish that the tax classification is substantially related to the object of the legislation."

The new amendment passed by the board of commissioners directs revenue raised from the tax to a new "Special Purpose Equity Fund to fund gun violence prevention programs." Revenue from the tax will also go to "operations and programs aimed at reducing gun violence." Previously, the revenue went toward a "Public Safety Fund to fund operations related to public safety."

Under the ordinance, retail purchases are subject to a $25 tax for each firearm purchased. Centerfire ammunition is taxed at $0.05 per cartridge, and rimfire ammunition is taxed at $0.01 per cartridge.

You get the FN 5.7 pistol to go with it? I think if I had the p90 I’d have to get the pistol as well.

Also a can, I think .22lr cans work for 5.7. Something small and light like a dead air mask would be perfect imo.

Fuuarrkkk can’t wait to get my .22 can so I can finally finish my .22 ar build. At 200 days easy.

Yeah I have the pistol too, keep it in my desk at work. My dad also has a black FN 5.7 pistol, and today he went to the gun shop and comes into work and tells me he bought another one in FDE...lmao idk why we need 3 FN 5.7 pistols. But he wanted one to match his SCAR. lol I have a rugged 9mm can in jail that I'm going to use on it.

[Bo_Flecks]

Love it, let us know how you like it

Going to attach it to my new 5.56 Wilson Protector Elite when it comes in. It was supposed to be here today, but no dice.

[benz5521]

I don’t have the pistol. May get one but the round really shines with the longer barrel. Would be neat to just have.

22 can would be cool but basically leaves you to direct thread only so I guess you could put a thread protector on the adapter when not using the suppressor.

Debated suppressing it at all because it’s designed to be as compact as possible and fit under jackets and stuff.

Pretty gnar looking with the brake though. Definitely adds length however.

Been eyeing up some of B&T's other guns

there was one that looked MP5 like that was only 1500 grand. tempted


also their pistol (literally a handgun) was also 1500 grand. lmao wut.

GHM9 ? Those are so cool looking but reciprocating charging handle.

The pistols looks like rebranded Sphinx’s. I’m guessing that’s what they are. I shot a Sphinx once and it was great. It’s just a high end CZ with really good machining and fit and finish and stuff.

[leoaa777]

Picked up some 7.62x39 x1000

Been slacking, good thing this goes bang everytime with zero maintenance.

My uncle needs to leave that chit hole. Lord knows why they live there.

Been doing some speed drills from the holster. Firing anywhere from one to two rounds from 7 yards in 3 seconds and working my way down to 1.5 seconds before resetting. This is drawing from the holster. Ive got work to do

Didn’t watch, everyone knows red dot is better for close quarters. Anything else ?

Oddly accurate

[PapaBurgandy]

Water. No game this weekend, which means my liver is on a bye week as well.

Interesting. A little Larceny for me tonight.

chocolate milk shake. bingemaxxing rn.

[benz5521]

Not drinking cuz I’m laying in bed exhausted. Guess I’m not that tired but anyone else get burnt out from work all week and just go to bed early on Friday nights? Probably wasting half the weekend doing that but o well.

Look at this Tim Kennedy looking gun grabbing getting his ass kicked by Shrek Mcphee Tim Kennedy head.

I'm only not in bed yet because it's Friday.

Gimme 10 mins

That's not the question. The question is how much do you give up at close distance vs a dot, so you can evaluate the gains you make shooting further in context.

I'll guess the biggest factor is, do you have to reach up and dial the LPVO down to 1x first

[RThoe]

So far this year, there have been almost 40 million NICS checks. I'm confident there are close to one billion guns in the US.

Cliffs of trial so far?

Yes I eventually watched. I’m a believer in LPVO’s tbh. My experience is you don’t actually lose that much on 1x (if you practice) the video seems to confirm that.

A lot of people don’t have access to distances where LPVO’s shine. To me that’s 300+

the last cop they brought in to testify was a total kunt. Didn't do his job because he saw rittenhouse walking towards him with his hands up, trying to communicate, said his partner drew his gun on him because he wasn't following commands, likely due to hearing damage. Best he could do was retreat and grab "Ar15 armor" from his trunk when the bearcats took over once his squad car pulled aside. Yes, to defend themselves against the friendly that was trying to communicate and nothing more.

I learned here from this guy that cops will never ever will see you as anything other than an adversary if armed in public. it doesn't matter if you are a good guy. to them you are a bad guy

I actually just cracked open a bag of this "Angies Boom chicka pop" buttery popcorn. For a bagged popcorn and sold as "healthy" it is suprisingly greesie, a pleasant surprise

[Ikeman83]

Manipulation of your optic is part of your manual of arms. Things like dialing back to zero on a multirotation turret come to mind. Having lens covers on or off, etc.

Depends on what you're doing. Hitting man-sized steel? Probably 400. Head shot? 200. Identifying a target? Immediately better.

Scopes with a very forgiving eyebox and a big FOV @ 1x are the most dot like. The further past 300 you go the more a scope with a good holdover reticle starts to shine

Since 1998 there have been 400 mn nics checks.

A reasonable assumption would be that we're over 600 mn guns in the country.

Of the 600, how many million does Larry Vickers have

Zero, it seems.
