Urge U.S. Congress to enact legislation to include airguns and airbows as items taxed under the Pittman-Robertson Act.

This resolution urges the U.S. Congress to amend the Pittman-Robertson Act to include airguns and airbows as items subject to federal excise taxes. Currently, the act taxes firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment, directing revenue to wildlife conservation programs. The resolution states that airguns and airbows - increasingly used for hunting - are not covered under existing tax provisions, which have funded over $15 billion in conservation since 1937. The Mississippi Senate has referred this resolution to the Rules Committee and will send it to Congress and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
