New Colorado gun tax aims to shore up state’s victim services

New Colorado gun tax aims to shore up state’s victim services

The new gun tax initiative in Colorado is aimed at generating revenue to support victim services, with a 6.5% tax on guns, gun parts, and ammunition estimated to bring in $39 million annually. This money will primarily fund crime victim services, including support for victims of domestic violence, behavioral and mental health services for veterans and youth, and school security.

Firearm deaths in Colorado have been on the rise, and the tax is seen as a potential tool to address this issue. However, its impact on gun sales remains uncertain. With only one other state, California, having a similar tax in place, researchers are eager to see how it will play out in Colorado.

The connection between firearms and domestic violence is a significant factor behind the new law. Nationally, gun violence against women is a prevalent issue, and the tax aims to provide much-needed support for victims of such crimes.

The tax is classified as a “Pigouvian” tax, designed to offset the societal costs associated with a product. In this case, the tax supports the social infrastructure needed in a society with firearms.

While some firearms businesses are concerned about losing sales to neighboring states with lower taxes, victim service organizations are hopeful that the new tax revenue will alleviate financial strains and allow them to better assist crime victims.

Overall, the impact of the Colorado gun tax remains to be seen, but it represents a step towards addressing gun violence and supporting victim services in the state.
