For the first time in a generation, Colorado voters will have a direct say on how the state treats firearms. Proposition KK, put forward by the state legislature, asks voters to approve a new 6.5% excise tax on guns, firearm parts and ammunition sold in the state. In total, it would raise an estimated $39 million a year, $30 million of which would go to services for crime victims.
