Boone and Crockett Club Opposes H.R. 8167, the RETURN Our Constitutional Rights Act

MISSOULA, Mont. – The Boone and Crockett Club opposes the ill-named Return Our Constitutional Rights Act ( H.R. 8167 ). The “Return Act” would eliminate the sportsmen-supported excise tax on firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment that provides the vast majority of funding for wildlife conservation.

“For 85 years, the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act has served as the foundation for our American system of conservation funding, which provides dedicated revenue for state wildlife agencies to successfully restore wildlife populations and grow opportunities for hunting and recreational shooting,” commented Tony A.
