Colorado would create an excise tax on firearms and ammunition, primarily to pay for victim services, if voters approve Proposition KK in the November election. The ballot measure is the result of one of the slew of firearm-related bills passed by the state legislature this year. The bill to refer the measure to voters, House Bill 1349, passed the legislature with only Democratic votes, along with a few Democrats voting in opposition. The tax would raise an estimated $39 million a year, with $30 million tagged for services for crime victims.
