WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, commends the introduction of the Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by U.S. Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) as H.R. 2442 and in the U.S. Senate by U.S. Sen. Jim Risch as S. 1169. The bicameral legislation would prohibit states from implementing excise taxes on firearms and ammunition to fund gun control programs.

“States that are hostile to the firearm industry and Second Amendment freedoms have abused their ability to levy taxes on the sale of firearms and ammunition as a ‘sin tax.’ Exercising a right – whether it is your First Amendment freedoms, Second Amendment or Fourth or Fifth Amendment freedoms – is not a sin,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “The idea that law-abiding citizens who responsibly exercise their Second Amendment rights must bear the cost to fund programs designed to denigrate that very right is anathema to free exercise of our rights. This is akin to the unconstitutional poll taxes that were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1966. The lawmakers in the states that levy these taxes reveal their contempt for the Second Amendment and disdain for citizens who obey the law. NSSF is grateful to Congressmen Issa and Hudson, as well as Senator Risch, for their principled stand against these taxes that are an affront to the free exercise of Constitutionally-protected rights.” Read more

Youth shotguns have a long and storied history. It’s often the first introduction to hunting for many individuals who have fond memories of hunting with their first firearm. ESCORT Shotguns continues that tradition with its WS Youth shotgun.

The WS Youth is a great introduction to hunting shotguns. This 20-gauge provides more than enough energy to easily hunt fowl and deer with reduced recoil. The 13.75-inch length of pull offers safe and effective handling without oversizing or overweighing the abilities of younger and smaller frame hunters. The receiver is manufactured from an aircraft alloy, providing a lightweight yet robust platform for exceptional performance.

This WS Youth includes Escort’s multi-choke system for pellet throw pattern requirements depending on game and shotshell choice. The 22-inch oxidation-resistant chrome-plated steel barrel contrasts the Turkish walnut stock and forend, offering durability and reliability. Like the other WS models, the WS Youth boasts an 11mm groove for scope mounts, allowing users to attach optics for improved aiming precision and a 7mm checkered and ventilated anti-glare raised rib, complemented by a fiber optic front sight, facilitates quick and accurate target acquisition. While suitable for youth shooters, this is an heirloom shotgun anyone would be proud to pass down and receive.
