Last year, the 10% federal excise tax on handguns put some $5,500,000 into thegeneral rev enue. Under two Identical bills now in Congress, these excise taxes would be diverted into the Department of Interior. Half of the money would go to states on a 50-50 matching basis to help pay for hunter safety program s. The other half would go Into the Pittman-Rob ertson program for state wild life funding.
