The bill, introduced by State Senator Will Haskell (D-26) and State Representative Jillian Gilchrest (D-18), would tax ammo at 50 percent of its cost in Connecticut.



"This is a public health crisis," said Gilchrest in a release. "Connecticut ranks 5th in the country for having the lowest rate of gun deaths because we have been a leader on bold public policy. But, even one preventable death is too many. We must continue to take the lead in order to eliminate gun violence."
