HB329 codifies temporary exemptions from the state sales tax for ammunition components and related manufacturing equipment.
The Montana State House of Representatives passed HB329 on April 30, 2025 by a vote of 55 to 45. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the right to keep and bear arms, protected by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, shall not be infringed. Taxing ammunition components and related manufacturing equipment violates the exercise of that right, discourages lawful firearm ownership and self-defense, and conflicts with the fundamental principle that government should not tax the means by which citizens exercise their constitutionally protected rights.
