Missouri tax breaks on firearms

[BilletHead]

               I struggled on where to post this. I dislike lumping all firearms as weapons. Yes, all firearms can be used as weapons, but the majority of firearms are used for hunting. Anyway, there is a bill being moved through the Missouri senate. What I really like having the opportunity to buy hunting ammunition where lots of shooting is involved some years, we purchase dove loads buy the case. I highly doubt this will pass but here is to hope it will. A break is a break and sometimes we need a break.

That terminology drives me nuts.   🙄

If you think about it from the, say, deer's perspective, that firearm is most definitely a weapon🤪

A filet knife and a Bic pen are weapons, a baseball bat and a jack handle are weapons, a walking stick is a weapon;  a firearm is a firearm unless it is designated as an antique firearm.

And from my trucks perspective.....and my wife's beloved Hosta's......that deer is a weapon!  🤔

I am enjoying my new "tax break" addition.  Pop pop now, nice and quiet with subsonics.

The device was on sale for $159, the tax before 12/31/2025 would have added another $200.  Rimfire only.

Before, with all of the radiation damage to the head and years of shooting, driving a nail with a hammer sets me ringing and hurts even with a 22.  Now, painless.

Wish I could have started with one of these in my youth.

Same as Chuck Norris, my hands are registered as lethal weapons...😆

Last time I looked, a firearm was a gun.

But not all guns are firearms.

True enough.
