Next week both HB24-1292 the “assault weapons” ban, and HB24-1270, gun owner liability insurance mandate, could receive votes on the House floor. Additionally, the House Finance Committee is scheduled to hear anti-gun bills including legislation to mandate an excise tax on firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition. Use the two Take Action buttons below and get involved today!
Take Action and urge your Representative to OPPOSE HB24-1292 (Semi-Auto Ban) and HB24-1270 (Gun Owner Liability Insurance)!
Monday, April 8th
House Finance Committee 1:30 pm
HB24-1349 Prior to amendments created an 11% excise tax on the sale of all firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition in the state. If passed, the tax will be on the ballot this Fall. Firearms and ammunition are already subject to an 11% federal excise tax through the Pittman-Robertson Act, along with a variety of other state and local taxes and fees. California is the only other state to enact similar legislation. An amendment reduced the tax from 11% to 9%.
HB24-1353 creates a state permitting system for federally regulated firearm license holders. The new permit adds one more layer of scrutiny and potentially state sanctioned harassment of these already highly regulated businesses. HB24-1353 adds additional conditions and requirements on the dealers, along with random inspections and severe penalties for violations.
Take Action to urge House Finance Committee Members to OPPOSE HB24-1349 (Excise Tax) and HB24-1353 (State Firearm Dealer License)!
