Ah, but one wishes it were only simple “Greed” driving this.
Tyrants can also be greedy.
Sean, does that include ammo purchased elsewhere and delivered to a Colorado address? I rarely buy ammo locally, almost always ordering 1 or 2 thousand rounds from an ammo vendor. Just curious.
I’ve read the proposition several times, and in my opinion it only applies to retailers within the state.
This proposed tax is already on top of the Federal Excise taxes of 10-11%, and on top of an already existing Colorado State tax on firearms and ammo ranging from 5 to 9%.
This would push the Colorado tax to 10-15% if it passes, on top of the 10-11% the Feds charge.

Vote NO
I’d encourage you to read the following g article. They’ve pushed ranked voting onto this fall’s ballot in multiple other states, besides Colorado.
Ranked Voting means that no Conservative will ever be elected again. It’s the Monty Python’s “Spam Skit” come to Idiocracy-Life in American Politics.
I just don’t understand what’s stopping the people from taxing the government and IRS. I haven’t seen anything that says it isn’t possible.
This is a Jim Crow law plain and simple.
The USSC needs to grow a pair and stop this left wing lawfare.
Did you know,
Tabor (Tax Payere’s Bill Of Rights) was pasted by voters in 1992, TABOR limits revenue growth to inflation + population (requiring voter approval for most tax hikes, which voters have largely rejected)
Since the passing of TABOR:
Fee-based enterprise revenue grew from $742 million in FY1994 to $25.8 billion in FY2024 — a nearly 3,400% increase (far outpacing ~62% population growth).
TABOR-exempt spending (largely fees/enterprises) rose from 46% of total state spending in 1996 ($5,264 per resident in 2023 dollars) to 74% in 2024 (~$9,000 per resident).
Per Coloradan, enterprise/fee collections more than tripled since 2008; for every $1 increase in General Fund (mostly tax) revenue per resident since then, fee collections rose by ~$2.69–$3.10.
Meaning the Government has largely just redirected it’s greed rather then curb it. Now they have a near singular goal of breaking TABOR so as to flood Colorado with new taxes on top of their nearly 3,400% increase in fees.
However much you hate Colorado’s Government; it’s not enough.
