Illinois Boys! This is important!

Thanks sdkidaho. No reps in my state so far are voting for it. I was surprised Russ Fulcher in Idaho is voting for it.

Email sent. Luckily, our Representative is on the appropriate committees and is already strongly opposed to this nonsense.

Don’t these representatives realize this taxation act was written and pushed by the people who pay it? Some problems can only be solved by a slap upside the head, whether literal or virtual. Get on it, folks!

Ain’t gonna happen....

This Bill Would Repeal Excise Taxes on Guns and Ammo. Both the NSSF and NRA Oppose It

A new bill would repeal the Pittman-Robertson Act, which is a popular excise tax widely supported by hunters and gun owners.

From your mouth to your representative’s ear. Bend his ear anyway; don’t take it for granted. It’s got 57 sponsors so far, all GOP. If they don’t see that hunters and fishermen pushed this tax through and still actually want it, they’ll throw it under the bus!

I hope all of you that are against this bill who stated you contacted your representative are contacting your FEDERAL CONGRESSPERSON, NOT your state representative. I hate to say it, but way too often I've been on these sites and people don't seem to understand that contacting your state rep or senator about a federal issue is useless, and visa versa.

Just sent my rep a message as well. I wish I had known this before last week. I just voted for her last Tuesday in the primary. We’ll see if I hear anything back at all. May dictate my voting for her in November

Wrong crowd here, I'm sure... but if anyone wants to hear how PR act actually works, go watch Randy Newberg's video on it. Then email link to anyone you know that uses public land for any reason, not just hunting or fishing.

Every state benefits from PR Act.

Repeal it. (And a bajillion other forms of taxation too). That'll leave more $$$ in my pocket (and yours) to donate to nonprofit conservation organizations that are not burdened by govt waste and fraud.

Doubt it... Government doesn't give tax money back. They just allocate it elsewhere.

Being in California it is almost impossible to get any politician to listen to reason.
This should be able to get posted to sites like Facebook so everyone can see it!

Do you know what the Pittman Robert’s Act is ???? If you are going to play we need to pay !!
