Never dawns on the California brain trust that the Genie just ain't going back in that bottle, no matter how many laws they pass.

Just like Cook County, passed a law with a $25 surcharge on every firearms sold in the County and their budget counted on $2 million in revenue from that, from the 5 gun stores still within County limits.

Guess what? The real "take" was way less than $200,00 for almost 2 years and they are scratching their pointy little heads about the "shortfall". It's the same thing with hiking the taxes on gasoline.

People, including me, voted with our feet and wallets.
