Proposed legislation pre-filed for the 2016 session in the Show Me State could make Missouri the fourth state in the nation to adopt an annual tax holiday for firearm purchases.
The proposal would eliminate the state’s sales tax requirements for gun purchases for the weekend, but would not affect sales of ammo or shooting accessories.
“The one (bill) I’m most excited about is creating a tax holiday for new gun purchases the Saturday following the Fourth of July,” Republican state Rep. Jered Taylor told the Springfield News-Leader. “You know, making it more affordable for all Missourians to purchase a firearm to protect themselves or their families if they decide.”
