California lawmakers approve raising taxes on guns, ammunition to pay for school security
Fox News
Lawmakers in California have given final approval to a bill that would raise taxes on the sales of guns and ammunition. The revenue would be used to improve school safety.
California’s proposed tax, if it becomes law, would be 11% — matching the highest tax imposed by the federal government on guns.
"Don’t let politics stand in the way of saving the lives of our children and providing mental health care in our school districts," Democratic state Sen. Anthony Portantino said. "Fear should not be on the brow of a parent when they send their kids to school."
