GOP Gun Bill Loses Support Amid Outrage From Hunting, Conservation Groups

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : The legislation, dubbed the RETURN Act (Repealing Excise Tax on Unalienable Rights Now) was introduced last month by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) and dozens of other House Republicans.
47% : Despite that long history and the popularity of the Pittman-Robertson Act among hunters, anglers, conservationists and the firearm industry, Clyde and other sponsors have painted the tax as an assault on the Second Amendment.
41% : Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), another co-sponsor and chair of the House Republican Conference, claimed the tax "infringes on Americans' ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights and creates a dangerous opportunity for the government to weaponize taxation to price this unalienable right out of reach for most Americans."
