South Carolina Special: Tax-Free Guns on Black Friday.

COLUMBIA, S.C. —  TVs and laptops won’t be the only hot items in South Carolina this Black Friday. The state is offering an unusual perk to shoppers: no sales tax on handguns, rifles and shotguns.

The so-called “Second Amendment Weekend” is thanks to a little-debated amendment legislators tacked on this summer to a tax break for energy-efficient appliances.

While the energy-efficiency measure doesn’t go into effect until next year, on Friday and Saturday gun buyers won’t have to pay state and local sales taxes that can total 8 percent. Taxes still apply to ammunition and accessories.

“We are a gun-owning-tradition state, a hunting-tradition state,” said Republican state Rep. Mike Pitts, a retired police officer who introduced the proposal and has promoted other pro-gun legislation.

“Quite often people will buy their pop or grandpop a shotgun or rifle to hunt with for Christmas,” he said in an interview by cell phone while out hunting.

While stores that sell guns are hoping for a boost in business, some opponents called it a gimmick that plays politics by tinkering with the state’s tax code.

Legislators approved the holiday in June over the objection of Republican Gov. Mark Sanford, also an avid hunter and gun supporter. He called it a stunt that only affects the timing of a gun purchase, without effectively promoting gun ownership or demand.

Way to go South Carolina!!! But the question begs to asked; WHY JUST IN SC?

Remove the state and Federal taxes on ALL firearms I say… I can’t wait till my states leadership does something like this, I am sure in just a day or two I will be able to purchase a handgun without taxes, registration, and a 10 day waiting period. Then I’ll be able to carry that handgun on the streets in the open or concealed, so that I may be prepared for any eventuality that might require a “Good guy” to dispense a “Bad guy”… I am positive this will occur in California very soon…. :straightfaced:

Ok now that you all have quit laughing..Ok Now have you quit laughing?… I’ll wait.

The fact is this: IF you are in the USA you should have the right to keep and bear arms under the 2nd. BUT in California you have the right to keep and bear arms as long as they are locked up at all times, unloaded,  and not within reach of the owner while in an automobile…. Real good protection, and/or assistance for those in need. A concealed weapon permit in Cali is non-existent unless L.E. related.

So what we have here in Kalifornia is; guns taxed to the hilt, ammo taxes on top of that and once you pay all those taxes you really can’t use that weapon for anything other than a paper weight in the real world.

While the South Carolina “No tax day” is absolutely AWESOME, it only works in America, out here in The SOCIALIST SHEEPLE ran state of Kalifornia we have to wait for the nanny to allow us to be victims…. Well the law abiding ones anyway.
