No User Fees for Gun Owners Act

3/5/2025, 5:08 AM

Summary of Bill HR 943

Bill 119 hr 943, also known as the "Firearm and Ammunition Tax Prohibition Act," aims to prohibit any state or local government from imposing liability insurance, taxes, or user fees on firearm or ammunition ownership or commerce. The bill seeks to protect the rights of gun owners and businesses by preventing additional financial burdens that could potentially restrict access to firearms and ammunition.

If passed, this legislation would ensure that individuals and businesses involved in the sale or ownership of firearms and ammunition are not unfairly targeted with additional costs or fees by state or local governments. Proponents of the bill argue that such measures could infringe on Second Amendment rights and make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to exercise their right to bear arms.

Opponents of the bill may argue that state and local governments should have the authority to regulate firearms and ammunition within their jurisdictions, including the ability to impose taxes or fees to fund public safety initiatives or address the costs associated with gun violence. However, supporters of the bill maintain that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms without unnecessary financial burdens imposed by government entities. Overall, Bill 119 hr 943 seeks to protect the rights of gun owners and businesses by prohibiting state and local governments from imposing liability insurance, taxes, or user fees on firearm or ammunition ownership or commerce. The bill is currently under consideration in the US Congress and may have implications for gun control policies at the state and local levels.
