Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act of 2025

This bill would stop states and local governments from adding excise taxes to the sale of guns, ammunition, and their parts when sold by manufacturers or dealers. It does not change the long‑standing federal program that taxes these items to fund wildlife conservation (the Pittman‑Robertson Act).

Key points:

• Who is affected: Gun and ammo manufacturers and dealers, and the state and local governments that tax them.
• What changes: States and cities could no longer charge excise taxes on these sales; the federal wildlife funding tax stays the same.
• Where it applies: Sales that happen in or affect interstate or foreign commerce.

What this could mean for you: If you buy from a shop that passes along state excise taxes from manufacturers or distributors, prices could go down. States and cities could collect less money from these products, but the federal wildlife conservation funding would not be affected.
