Colorado's New Bill Wants Gun Owners To Pay For The Acts Of Criminals
Colorado is considering two bills, HB 24-1349 and HB 24-1348, that would impose new financial burdens and storage requirements on gun owners. HB 24-1349 proposes an 11% excise tax on firearms, accessories, and ammunition, with revenue earmarked for a victim services fund. HB 24-1348 mandates locked containers for firearms stored in unattended vehicles. The speaker argues these measures unfairly penalize law-abiding citizens for the actions of criminals and could price individuals out of exercising their Second Amendment rights.
