R.I.P.
We already pay sales tax on firearms and ammo, if only because it's a retail transaction. No different in that than for a baseball bat, a new grill, or even a car.
But, I'm not aware that the sales tax on anything else gets peeled off like this (except maybe the extra 3% on alcohol sales? Sh!t... Does that open up a new avenue for them?)
This seems to be the point of the bill... to ostensibly help a vulnerable segment of the population through encumbering a legal sale with which they disagree.
Exactly.
No questions allowed though.
So many need answered...
So what happened with alcohol tax? Is there a clear history on it somewhere? Might provide a good framework for the assumption approach.
The "car" and "truck" rental "sales and use tax" may also be of some help for you google foos(different tax rate).
