DENVER (KDVR) — The National Rifle Association joined a number of organizations, alongside an El Paso County resident, suing to stop a 6.5% excise tax on ammunition and firearms that’s set to go into effect on April 1.
Proposition KK was passed by voters in November with 54.4% of voters affirming the tax, or about 1.68 million voters. The tax revenue would be allocated to school security and mental health services for veterans, domestic and other violence victims and at-risk youth.
