Hmmm. Allowing people to vote things in that won’t affect them…interesting.

The Colorado government are commies.
Commies tax everything for the good of the collective.
Shut up and pay your share serf!

Here's hoping that the progressive coloradians decide to go 1789 French on their elected officials accross the state and take it back. Not guillotine French, but a new more peaceful version when revolting from tyrannical rule, AKA French light, all the revolution, none of the bloodshed.

Denver and Colorado Springs runs the politics in Colorado. The rest of the state is extremely conservative.

That will only penalize the local gun shops. People will buy cheaper ammo online or across the border instead.

I feel that they will try and do a Cali, and attempt to outlaw such freedoms if they haven't done so yet.

I'm willing to bet that after it takes effect there will be hundreds if not thousands of gun owners that will waltz into their LGS and be like what's this new tax????? I didn't know about this, when did it happen? Well Mr. Gun Buyer did you vote in the last election? Uh, uh no........... And there you go.

So is Oregon, Washington, California, NY , and on and on and on. Yet every "conservative I met from those places weren't conservative they were more like democrats 30 to 40 years ago and they've rebranded. Incrementalism is a real thing

Most people in Colorado don't shoot.
Most hunters are out of staters.

well, if they are renters, the6 are paying it indirectly.

But they also have no stake in the area. I should know. Moved 32 times before I turned 18, then spent 24 years in the Air Force. Longest I ever lived in one city was 5 years. Bought 3 houses, finally got to keep the one I bought for a starter home when I got back from overseas just before I retired.
