News from the Gun Rights Policy Conference

Jake McGuigan of the NSSF was one of the panel of speakers at the Gun Rights Policy Conference this weekend in St. Louis. Currently firearms manufacturers pay their excise tax on a bi-weekly basis. The firearms industry is the only one that pays on a bi-weekly basis. Every other one pays on a quarterly basis. Information can be found here. By paying on a quarterly basis, money would be freed up for firearms manufacturers to budget more for R&D and marketing. There is bi-lateral support for this bill. Write your representatives and ask them to support this legislation.
