Florida Goes Tax-Free on Guns, Ammo, and Suppressors

Florida just did something no anti-gun blue state would dare: eliminated the sales tax on firearms, ammunition, suppressors, and firearm accessories.

Florida lawmakers passed HB 7031E, a sweeping tax package that includes a dedicated sales tax holiday covering guns, ammo, suppressors, and listed firearm accessories. Hunting, fishing, and camping gear made the list too.

This is not a rounding error buried in a budget bill. This is a state government treating the Second Amendment for what it is — a right worth protecting, not taxing into submission.

While Bloomberg-funded outfits and gun-control politicians in Sacramento, Albany, and Chicago spend their sessions designing new fees, registration schemes, and so-called "assault weapon" bans to price Americans out of their rights, Florida is cutting the cost of exercising them.

Suppressors on the holiday list is the detail that will make anti-gunners' heads explode. These are legal, NFA-regulated items that protect shooters' hearing — and Florida just told gun owners: buy one, and keep the tax money in your pocket.

Details on exact holiday dates and purchase caps are tied to HB 7031E's full implementation schedule. Check the Florida Department of Revenue for specifics before you shop.

This is what pro-gun governance looks like. Other Republican-led states should be taking notes.

**Bottom line:** If you are in Florida — or willing to drive there — start your shopping list. And if you are stuck in a state that still taxes your rights while banning your magazines, remember this moment at the ballot box.
