There's a group of gun stores sing over the Cook County tax in state court, the legal strategy is that it violates state law wrt regulating firearms. Per the new concealed carry law the state has sole power to regulate firearms (with the exception of long gun "assault weapons" regs passed no later than 10 days after the concealed carry law), and Cook County has already admitted in depositions the tax is a regulation. I'd bet it gets tossed on those grounds.
