Dannel Malloy and the majority in the General Assembly have already done to the state of Connecticut because they pursued a political agenda of passing highly restrictive gun control laws over good-paying jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the numbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From 2013-2016, Connecticut lost 3,000 firearms-related jobs, even as the industry grew overall across the country.<\/li>\n<li>In-state wages dropped 36 percent while state tax collection declined 37 percent.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly $700 million was lost in positive impact to the state economy.<\/li>\n<li>Companies both left Connecticut and chose to move production elsewhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looked at from another perspective, if the firearms industry had been able to contribute to state tax revenue at the same level as it did in 2013, Connecticut would have collected $140 million more than ended up in the coffers.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this significant decline in economic contribution, Connecticut-based, firearms-related businesses in 2016 still paid $85,109,200 in state taxes. If a brand new, separate tax is imposed on legal firearms sales, we will see that number go down, not up. More jobs will be lost at in-state retailers.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/seattle-gun-tax-turning-another-miserable-gun-control-failure\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-tax-firearms-ct-disastrous\" title=\"NSSF: Tax on Firearms in CT would be 'Disastrous'\">Seattle Gun Tax Turning Out to be Another Miserable Gun Control Failure<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>All this would occur at a time when the state is falling further and further behind due to increasing taxes on everyone and everything due to our elected officials\u2019 inability to get both spending and long-term debt under control.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a pity.
