Bill > S1169

This bill, known as the Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act, aims to prevent states and their political subdivisions from imposing excise taxes on firearm and ammunition manufacturers and dealers when they sell products that are involved in interstate or foreign commerce. The legislation would prohibit any state or local government from levying taxes specifically on firearms, ammunition, or their parts and components during commercial transactions that cross state lines or involve international trade. The bill explicitly states that it does not intend to modify or impact the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, a federal law that provides funding for wildlife conservation and hunter education through taxes on firearms and ammunition sales. By restricting state-level excise taxes on guns and ammunition, the bill seeks to potentially reduce the cost of firearms and ammunition for manufacturers, dealers, and consumers, while ensuring that federal wildlife conservation funding mechanisms remain intact.
