glad they did, but I'm cautious it will do any good.
they agreed to tax weed at a high rate to get it legalized, so sin tax has a president here.
not sure that matters, but I'm still hopeful.

A little slow on the draw? Filed March 31 and tax went into effect April 1.

Note who is always in the lead. SAF as in the Second Amendment Foundation. It's about time the NRA participated. The way that article reads you'd think that they are leading the charge. They should have been leading it all along in all states but travel and new suits for Wayne were their priority. Now those same measures are about to be adopted in Washington. Think the NRA will show up this time? They've not been of much help in the past.

CSSA Sues to Stop Prop KK's Gun Tax



Today, March 31, 2025, the Colorado State Shooting Association (CSSA), alongside the National Rifle Association (NRA), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Magnum Shooting Center, and El Paso County resident Zachary Langston, filed a lawsuit in Denver County District Court to strike down Proposition KK—the 6.5% excise tax on firearms and ammunition set to hit tomorrow, April 1. We are represented by Cooper and Kirk, LLP—one of the best pro-2A law firms in the country. This is a historic fight to protect our Second Amendment rights, echoing the defiant and patriotic spirit of the Boston Tea Party.



Prop KK, which narrowly passed last November, slaps an unfair 6.5% tax on every firearm, firearm part, and round of ammo sold in Colorado. It's projected to rake in $39 million a year for various government programs—and it does so by punishing law-abiding gun owners and the businesses we rely on. We're suing the state to stop this unconstitutional overreach in its tracks.



This tax is a direct attack on our Second Amendment rights. Coloradans already pay state and local sales taxes on these purchases, and now the state's piling on a punitive gun tax that exclusively targets responsible gun owners.

They've been pretty quiet about the 11% firearms and ammunition excise tax in California... And the 10 round magazine limit (which has since been challenged by a different law firm, as it has been ruled unconstitutional at the Federal level.)
