Microstamping Remains A Threat In New York

NEWTOWN, Conn --(AmmoLand.com)- Without the support of the Republican Conference in Albany two weeks ago, microstamping would have already passed into law.

Still, this fight continues and the legislation could be brought back for a vote at any time. In response to the collective efforts by NSSF and its allies in the Second Amendment community to defeat firearms microstamping, New York City politicians are trying to bully state senators into changing their votes and supporting this gun ban – and make no mistake, microstamping is a gun ban.

NSSF is asking New Yorkers to please take a few minutes and thank your Republican state senators for staying strong and continuing to oppose this dangerous legislation.

House To Vote On Legislation To Strengthen The Gun Industry

NEWTOWN, Conn --(AmmoLand.com)- The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote Tuesday on legislation being sponsored by Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.) called the Firearms Excise Tax Improvement Act of 2010 (H.R. 5552).

The bill revises earlier legislation (H.R. 510) introduced by Rep. Kind so that the bill does not add to the budget deficit. H.R. 5552 would correct a longstanding inequity in the Internal Revenue Code by permitting firearm and ammunition manufacturers to pay the Pittman Robertson federal excise tax on a quarterly basis, like other industries that support conservation through the payment of a federal excise tax, instead of the current bi-weekly schedule.

For more information, read the NSSF Blog. Please call your representatives at 202-224-3121 and urge them to vote “yes” on H.R. 5552.
