Vote No On KK!

It is caca!

It'll pass because liberals just love to tax those who engage in behavior of which they disprove as a punishment for participating in the offensive behavior. Oh sure, it's a regressive tax, just like the tobacco tax is, and it impacts lower income groups significantly more than middle and upper income groups, but they are doing it for your own good. S

Should the tax just happen to result in the sought after behavior change, well, the tax will have to be increased to replace the lost revenue from those no longer behaving badly. If, however, the tax has no effect upon the behavior and the tax raises more revenue than projected, why, the next step will be to seek exemption from TABOR to allow the government to waste all of the revenue raised by the tax.

Another "Sin" tax.

I'm absolutely serious . . . look at JJ, an attempt by the State to keep all the tax revenue from sports betting revenue because they underestimated just how large the sports betting market was and have collected tax revenues beyond that allowed by TABOR, which of course they want to keep this year and every year following.

A rational person would say let's reduce the tax rate and reduce the amount of excess tax revenue to be more in line with what we told the voters, who approved the original measure, we were going to be raising for the stated purpose, but that's not the way government works in a blue State. Don't need a vote of the people to lower a tax rate, just to raise one or to keep revenue in excess of what the voters were told was going to be raised by the tax.

You can bet there will be a de-Brucing measure on a future ballot to keep the extra revenue raised by this tax, just as there was for tobacco, and this one for sports betting.

For years, America’s most iconic gun-makers turned over sensitive personal information on hundreds of thousands of customers to political operatives.

Those operatives, in turn, secretly employed the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians running for Congress and the White House, a ProPublica investigation has found.

The clandestine sharing of gun buyers’ identities — without their knowledge and consent — marked a significant departure for an industry that has long prided itself on thwarting efforts to track who owns firearms in America.

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington, Marlin and Mossberg, handed over names, addresses and other private data to the gun industry’s chief lobbying group, the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The NSSF then entered the gun owners’ details into what would become a massive database.

OH LOOK, maybe we should reconsider the vote on KK.....and have the GUN CORP carry the tax burden times 10.

And this is different from King Soopers using a loyalty card to tailor coupons, or google tailoring their advertising to you, and selling that information to any willing buyer, based upon your search engine use exactly how?

That's how customer purchasing data is monetized by every commercial sector HA, why is it evil when gun manufacturers do what every other manufacturing segment does?

The concern is having the government compile a database of all gun owners . . . not for every manufacturer of home loading supplies and equipment to know who uses their products.

U CAN NOT be that oblivious....this was accomplished WITHOUT CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE. PS, u r an intelligent individual, come on...it was not transparent and more over it was illegal i believe. (if not illegal, THEN UNETHICAL)

What, you think its by accident that when you buy a new home you start receiving offers to protect your appliances, hire a landscaper, renovate your kitchen or bathroom, offers for an insurance quote, and a myriad of other services offered to you? Google monetizes your search history, King Soopers monetizes your loyalty card, Visa monetizes the balance on your credit cards, Cabela's monetizes their catalog list, airlines, hotels, car rental agencies all monetize your patronization of their businesses.

Again, why is one segment of the commercial market demonized for activity that occurs on a regular and continual basis?

see how this is ok in your world......POLITICAL,OPERATIVES = loyaltycards????

Ironically they can only do this because the Federal government requires me to fill out a 4473 that gives them my address, age, weight, height, etc.
So the Feds are the ones who allowed this to happen.
