MS SR16

Urges U.S. Congress to include airguns and airbows in federal excise tax items under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Program (Federal Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937)

Notes that airguns use compressed air or gas instead of explosive charges, and arrow-shooting airguns represent significant technological advancement beyond traditional BB and pellet guns

States the Pittman-Robertson Act has contributed over $15 billion to wildlife conservation since 1937 through excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment

Requires change in federal tax statute to include airguns and airbows as taxable items for wildlife conservation funding purposes

Directs Mississippi Secretary of State to transmit resolution to members of Mississippi's congressional delegation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Capitol Press Corps
