The proposed gun tax is expected to bring in an estimated $600,000 in revenue.
I'd be shocked if it brought in one sixth that much. All you have to do is drive to the next county and you get an automatic $25 discount on every purchase.

Meanwhile the bad guys will keep on killing and ignoring the law.

There are dealers in Cook county, just not in the city of Chicago.
