Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit State excise taxes on firearms and ammunition manufacturers and dealers.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act of 2025," aims to prevent states and their political subdivisions from imposing excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, or their parts and components when these sales occur in or affect interstate or foreign commerce. Specifically, the bill would prohibit state or local governments from levying taxes on manufacturers or dealers selling firearms and related products across state lines or internationally. The legislation includes a clarifying provision that explicitly states it will not impact the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, a federal law that uses taxes from firearms and ammunition sales to fund wildlife conservation and recreation programs. By restricting state-level taxation on firearm and ammunition sales, the bill seeks to potentially lower costs for manufacturers, dealers, and consumers, and to create a more uniform regulatory environment for the firearms industry across different states.
