NSSF Commends Bicameral Bills to Halt State Excise Taxes on Firearms

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

ESCORT Shotguns Introduces the WS Youth 20-Gauge Shotgun

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.

Heckler & Koch USA Introduces the G36 .22 LR

Columbus, Georgia – Heckler & Koch, a global leader in small arms, is excited to announce the release of the new G36 .22 LR.

Since adoption by the German Bundeswehr in 1997, the iconic G36 has been the gold standard modern rifles continue to emulate. From its ability to fire with a folded stock, its completely modular design, ambidextrous controls, and short-stroke piston system, the combat-proven G36 is still used to protect and serve countries worldwide.

HK has once again partnered with Umarex of Germany to create the most realistic civilian version of the G36 yet. So realistic, in fact, that most of the original accessories and furniture will mount securely to give the same look and feel as the original G36. Whether being used as a fun range gun, or a sub-caliber trainer, the G36 .22 is a high quality and reliable firearm ready for whatever you throw its way.

“The G36 .22 has been a labor of love. The G36 .22 is the enthusiast’s rimfire: from its iconic silhouette, ambidextrous controls, and smooth recoil experience, we ensured that G36 .22 is no mere imitation – it is a fully-functional and fully-featured rifle,” said Nathan Schueth, Director of Sales & Business Development.” Our partners knocked it out of the park. The G36 .22 features wide compatibility with existing G36 accessories and is begging to be customized!”

Units are already on their way to all HK USA Distributors. For more information visit
