(13,786 posts)85. How much goes to the NRA?
Last edited Thu Mar 8, 2018, 08:23 PM - Edit history (1)
An 11% tax is charged, per the Wildlife Restoration Act ( https://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/WR/WR_Act.htm ).
How much goes to the NRA? I don't doubt that some does. I'm assuming that the amount varies according to the manufacturer/vendor/retailer, but we all know about assumptions. Do you have any specifics?
