Adds a new section 5848A to chapter 53 (Internal Revenue Code) prohibiting a State or unit of local government of a State from imposing insurance requirements, taxes, user fees, or similar charges as a condition of manufacture, importation, acquisition, transfer, or continued ownership of a firearm, pistol, or revolver, while permitting generally applicable sales taxes to apply proportionally.
Adds a new subsection (b) prohibiting States and units of local government from imposing any insurance requirement, tax, user fee, or similar charge as a condition of the manufacture, importation, acquisition, transfer, or continued ownership of a firearm or ammunition, with an exception allowing generally applicable sales taxes to apply to firearms or ammunition in the same proportion as other goods or services.
This bill would stop states and cities from making people or businesses pay special costs to own, buy, sell, make, or import guns or ammunition. It blocks requirements like liability insurance or extra taxes and fees tied to gun ownership or sales. Regular sales taxes that apply to all goods are still allowed and can be charged on guns and ammo the same as other products .
