Two Democratic state lawmakers on Monday called for an excise tax on ammunition production in New York to generate funding for gun violence research.
The measure backed by state Sen. Andrew Gounardes and Assemblywoman Pat Fahy would tax ammo production between two and five cents.
Lawmakers backing the bill want to bolster funding for the state's newly created research fund for studying gun violence, which is part of the state Department of Health and the State University of New York.
