Virginia: Excise Tax on Firearms Continues to Advance, Other Gun Control Stalls
Dear [Lawmaker],
As a fellow Virginian and your constituent, I urge you to OPPOSE HB 919 when it arrives on the floor. House Bill 919, the House companion bill for SB 763, imposes an 11% excise tax on the sale of all firearms and ammunition "by a dealer in firearms, firearms manufacturer, or ammunition vendor," and designates all funding from the tax go into a so-called "Virginia Gun Violence Intervention and Prevention Fund." As amended, it now includes the provisions from HB 1094 to impose a separate and additional 11% excise tax on all firearms and ammunition sales for general state funds. This bill does nothing to address crime in the Virginia, and only impacts law-abiding firearm owners and businesses. Again, I strongly urge you to OPPOSE HB 919. Thank you for all that you do for the Commonwealth.
Sincerely,
______
