Political views
Gun control
In 2020 Gilchrest proposed a bill H.B. 5040, which would require gun owners to pay a 35% ammunition tax. In the previous legislative session she proposed a 50% ammunition tax, that ended up being unsuccessful. The bill would use money raised from the ammunition tax to fund statewide gun violence prevention and intervention efforts.[2]

gollark: ```To keep with the tradition, our first program in Lua just prints "Hello World": print("Hello World")If you are using the stand-alone Lua interpreter, all you have to do to run your first program is to call the interpreter (usually named lua) with the name of the text file that contains your program. For instance, if you write the above program in a file hello.lua, the following command should run it: prompt> lua hello.lua```What's the problem here?

gollark: You realise that telling people to shut up does not in fact improve your argument?
