It reads like a way to raise taxes on guns and ammunition.

Article says funding comes from the sale of guns and ammo. That means taxes on those sales go to these projects. Sounds to me like the Dems want to raise taxes on guns and ammo dramatically. Higher ammo taxes mean people generally shoot less.

We’ll see.

Bingo!

The Democrat-run States (like Colorado) plan to raise exorbitant taxes on guns and ammunition. But they will never spend any of it on projects to build ranges. "Delayed indefinitely by environmental impact studies and community hearings".

It is civilian disarmament through taxation. That is why the Democrats supported it. The Republicans who supported it are the usual suckers.

Nope. It just uses the existing Pittman Robertson taxes that have been in place for 40 years.

Maybe Pittman Robertson is unconstitutional. I don't think anyone has challenged it.
