By allowing the firearms and ammunition industry to pay the FAET on a
quarterly basis, the same payment schedule as every other industry that
supports conservation, manufacturers will be able to invest in new
equipment and product designs.
Clearly a financially strong and growing firearms and ammunition industry
will not only generate greater excise tax revenues, monies that will be
used to fund conservation throughout the United States, but will also help
ensure America's manufacturers remain competitive in an increasingly
global economy.
And then... I think that is what he means by the first post.
