A proposal to tax guns and bullets in California has bogged down in the Legislature and is not expected to advance this year, its author said.
The proceeds from the two taxes would have gone to the California Violence Intervention and Prevention Grant Program, which funds community efforts to reduce injuries and deaths from firearms.The tax on guns alone would have raised about $13 million annually, state officials estimated.
The shelving of the Levine bill was welcomed Friday by David Wolfe, legislative director for the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn., which had opposed AB 18 as unfair and unnecessary. Lizelda Lopez, a spokeswoman for Senate leader Toni Atkins , said, “We do not comment on bills that are not in the Senate.”
