Colorado's new 6.5% tax on guns, ammo & gun related parts.

[Colorado Cowboy]

Anyone shopped where the new 6.5% tax is applied? Heard some retailers are charging it on hunting equipment (eg. clothing, binos. etc), it's only supposed to be charged for purchase of guns, ammo, and gun parts in my understanding.

That is going to sting.

From what I understand there is already a lawsuit filed on this.

On another note Polis signed the "assault weapon" training bill today

additional 6.5% or just standard sales tax?

 

[JimP]

Additional on top of regular sales tax

It doesn't surprise me it's happening in Colorado. That state needs some serious leadership help. Not sure what I would do as a resident but I wouldn't stand by. Need to fight against BS like this.

Colorado made a big push years ago for manufactures and tech production. Since that time the liberals have been moving in. That along with second and third homes for retirees with most of them being from California.

The political pundits call us a purple state but we are as blue as blue can be. People in the area that I live do a lot of complaining about how the state is being run, but they continue to vote on the liberal side of things. They like all the free stuff that is being promised to them

My wife and I spent over 20 years looking for the perfect (or near perfect!) place to retire. We bought land in SW Colorado in 1995 and retired here in 2000. Things were very different politically back then. Doubt if we would make the same choice today. We are just too damn old now to pick up and move again.
Our second choice was Wyoming. We liked Lander a lot, but my wife said it was just too cold in the winter.

They just added another 15% tax on us just recently. You need to quit trying to copy us or you will be really F’d up
