Alabama passes bill for annual gun tax holiday, exempting firearms and ammo from sales tax.
Alabama’s House passed a bill creating a Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday, exempting firearms, ammunition, and hunting supplies from state sales tax annually from the last Friday in August to the following Sunday.
Sponsored by Republican lawmakers, the measure aims to boost legal gun purchases and hunting activity, with supporters citing benefits for consumers, businesses, and constitutional rights.
Critics questioned its priority amid pressing social needs and projected annual losses of about $386,000 to the state’s Education Trust Fund, potentially rising to $500,000 if local governments join.
If approved by the Senate, Alabama would join four other states offering similar tax exemptions.
