Proposition KK - Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax

✔ VOTE YES

This amendment would create a new tax on firearm sellers of 6.5% of sales of firearms, firearm parts, and ammunition, and exempts this money from the state’s revenue limit as a voter-approved revenue change. The new tax revenue will be used to fund crime victim support services, mental health services for veterans and youth, and school safety programs.  

CDP recommends voting YES because:

Securing reliable funding for victim and mental health services for communities and individuals impacted by gun violence is an important goal of this measure. This initiative will address funding insecurity for veterans, crime victims, and behavioral health programs while exempting law enforcement officers, agencies and active-duty military service members from the tax.
