Ban on State and Local Excise Taxes on Firearms and Ammunition Sales.

This legislation prohibits state and local governments from levying or collecting excise taxes on the sale of firearms, ammunition, and related components by manufacturers or dealers. The goal is to prevent states from increasing the cost of these products through specific taxes. Citizens may experience price stability as local governments lose the ability to impose new financial burdens on this industry.
Key points
States and local subdivisions are banned from imposing new excise taxes on the sale of firearms, ammunition, and parts.
The prohibition applies to taxes levied on manufacturers and dealers, potentially affecting the final consumer price.
The existing federal Pittman-Robertson tax, which funds wildlife restoration, remains unaffected by this ban.
