“Several weeks ago, I introduced my landmark legislation, the RETURN our Constitutional Rights Act, which eliminates the Federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition because no American should be taxed on their enumerated constitutional rights. Since this unconstitutional tax funds Pittman-Robertson conservation programs, my legislation replaces this revenue stream with a more stable source of funding by redirecting unallocated lease revenue generated by onshore and offshore energy development on Federal lands. Replacing this revenue is crucial to ensure Pittman-Robertson programs stay alive and well. While the firearm tax revenue fluctuates annually based on firearms sales, it is also subject to the left's radical gun control agenda. You see, if we allow anti-Second Amendment lawmakers to achieve their dangerous dream of an unarmed America, there will be no firearms sold, so Pittman-Robertson funding will cease to exist, threatening wildlife conservation programs. Therefore, the RETURN Act accomplishes both protecting Americans' Second Amendment rights and preserving Pittman-Robertson programs. We can and must do both. ____________________”
