They found weasel words and have turned them into a loophole that will result in another lawsuit which they will lose after spending a few hundred thousand in tax dollars defending it.

Judge Roy Bean once supposedly ripped a page out of a law book after a lawyer showed him the law.
He replied " Thats a damned poor law " Its probably time elected republicans follow Chicago's lead and do what's right. Instead of following stupid laws, passed by those who will enslave us. |

They will use their own city/county lawyers. In the meantime they'll collect $1 on every box of centerfire ammo and 5.00 on a brick of 22 add the $25 per gun and the 2-3 year time frame and they'll be getting a lot of cash.

San Leandro has this law on the books even though they ran the last gun shop out of town ten years ago. While it was in effect, every pressure group in town was trying to get its hands on "the gun tax money."
That's what they called it and that's how they saw it, and if you think Chicago is going to spend any large part of this money on "gun crime victims" I have a bridge to sell you.

Can't let some pesky constitution written by a bunch of dead white men slow their agenda...

What was the purpose of filing suit against the ordinance as originally worded and operated if such an obvious and easily obtained work around was available to Chicago?
Substantial time, effort and money spent to overturn an ordinance that took no time, little effort and money to reinstate?

Yet again the Democratic Party “we are the party for the poor and oppressed minorities” enacts an unconstitutional law that predominantly impacts the 2A rights of the poor and minorities. Democrats then say to minorities “you don’t need guns to protect yourselves, that’s what law enforcement is for …”, and then they defund the police, get rid of bail, release convicted perps due to ‘overcrowding’, and put liberal DAs in place that won’t charge anything but the most serious violent crimes and release perps back onto the streets the same day they are arrested. An yet minorities still predominantly vote for Democrats. Huh? And Democrats call conservatives racists and ‘oppressors’? Talk about Stockholm syndrome.

Chicago won't make a dime if no one legitimately buys any ammo there. And Beetlejuice's favorite "constituents," ghetto thugs and gangbangers, don't pay taxes anyway. Tough luck for those who sell ammo in the city limits, but you get what you or your neighbors voted for which in this case is politicians continuing to violate the Second Amendment despite a court ruling to the contrary.

The state Supreme Court ruling is what gave Chicago the (likely) easy out. The ruling that struck it down openly stated that it was struck because the tax spending was not related to the tax itself. If you look at the actual thread for this case on this forum, multiple people pointed this out.
Chicago just conformed the law to fix the problem the court spelled out in its ruling. Quote:

Point of clarification: It is not "Chicago." It is Cook County (aka Crook County). Cook County is significantly larger than the City and incorporates a whole bunch of suburbs. There are more than 800 local governmental units and nearly 130 municipalities located partially or wholly within Cook County, and it is the second largest county by population in the US after LA. Over 40% of the state's residents live in the county.
