Here in Mississippi we have a special tax free week for the buying of guns and ammo…..and we are in the middle of that tax free week.
A sales tax holiday is an annual event during which the Mississippi Department of Revenue allows certain items to be purchased sales-tax-free at any participating retailer within the state.
Mississippi allows you to purchase the following items tax-free during their annual sales tax holidays: $100 worth of clothing and footwear in July; all firearms, ammunition, archery, and certain hunting supplies in September. (we got started early this year)
The September firearms and hunting supplies sales tax holiday is officially called the Mississippi Second Amendment Weekend (MSAW).
This is not something new….Mississippi has had an annual “Second Amendment” sales tax holiday since 2014. This tax holiday is meant to encourage participation in the upcoming hunting season, and enables sportsmen to purchase guns, ammunition, and other hunting supplies tax-free.
There you go an incentive for people to buy more guns and ammo….just what this state needs….more idiots packing heat in a time when we have a major problem with gun violence….it all seems so logical (sarcasm)….
I do not know if other states have this benefit for gun lovers….I just know that my state does not need an incentive to sell more guns.
But what can I expect from a deep Red State where logic is a dirty word.

“lego ergo scribo”
A reduction on food prices subsidised by the state might benefit more people than just the gun-nuts.
Best wishes, Pete.
I agree this state cannot afford to lose any revenue it is already one of the poorest. chuq
I am surprised that the states have not yet passed laws requiring newborn infants to have an allowance to purchase their first gun when they are old enough to pull the trigger and that gun training will be mandatory for all kids beginning in Kindergarten and going on through High School so that when they graduate they are certified firearms experts with in integrated lust for blood.
Please John do not give them any ideas…LOL chuq
I am far too insignificant an individual to even have them hear my ideas, much less adopt them.
Stop that sort of thinking….you are just as significant as anyone…..never stay silent for any reason. chuq
That’s quite a reach. We all know that the gun control camp vehemently opposes teaching actual gun safety in schools….no matter how many lives it might save.
I approve.
A sales tax holiday for something that’s a Constitutionally protected Right? Oh, the horrors…….
I disagree….Mississippi cannot afford to piss away any revenue on a political ploy. chuq
