State appeals court revives challenge to Cook County’s gun, ammo tax – Center Square

In 2012, Cook County approved a $25 per gun and 1 to 5 cent per cartridge of ammunition tax. Initial challenges went to the Illinois Supreme Court, which in 2021 ruled against the county. The county then modified the ordinance. Gun rights advocate Todd Vandermyde sued again on a Second Amendment challenge. After a district court dismissed the case, earlier this week an appeals court reinstated the challenge.

More smoke and mirrors to generate more income for the lawyers and court costs for the county. JB has a tailor made SC at the state level to do his bidding and one that will surely overturn a contrary opinion.
