OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A state legislator from Norman says Oklahomans should be able to buy guns a few days each year without paying taxes on them.
State Sen. John Sparks, a Democrat, is proposing legislation that he says would set up a “Second Amendment Weekend.” If fellow lawmakers approve the measure and becomes law, all rifles, handguns and shotguns would be tax free on a few days a year. The measure would not apply to gun accessories.
Sparks said the tax break is a good idea even in a recession.
“I don’t think there is ever a bad time to defend our Second Amendment rights, and I think we should do so every chance we get,” Sparks said.
Similar proposals have been approved in other states.
