COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Republican lawmakers in the Ohio House and Senate have introduced a pair of bills to exempt sales tax from “certain firearms and ammunition.” 

The bill would also provide tax incentives for firearm industry manufacturers in Ohio and provide a tax credit that would offset the federal excise tax.

Rep. Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) is sponsoring House Bill 189; 10 other House Republicans have signed onto that bill.

“We are enforcing the constitutional rights of our citizens with this legislation,” Cutrona said in a statement. “This will not only lower costs for Ohioans, but it will also assist Ohio’s businesses.”

State Sen. Tim Schaffer (R-Lancaster) is sponsoring Senate Bill 134; one other Republican Senator has signed onto the Senate version.

“I am proud to work with Representative Cutrona on removing burdensome taxation on Ohioans exercising their Second Amendment right,” Schaffer said in a statement. “This is the least we can do to make owning a firearm for self-defense, hunting, and sport more affordable for the average Ohioan.

It would be great to buy a gun for $1000 then use the $60 savings on taxes to buy ammo like you can in WV.

I thought about moving to NW OH but there's lots of property crime due to the meth/pillbillys in the small towns.
 
Tax incentives for firearm industry manufacturers in Ohio and providing a tax credit that would offset the federal excise tax?

I love it! Imagine the government subsidizing the citizen's guns and ammunition. That right there would be enough to reduce leftists to a puddle of goo.

:laughing0301:
 
I am 100% pro-2nd Amendment. I am 100% against corporate welfare. Politicians try their hardest to offend anyone with principles.
Yeah, I'm not real big on giving manufacturers a tax break either.

Perhaps they tossed that one in knowing it would not pass muster but get the break for the citizens through. ;)

If you want to increase gun sales just elect more democrats.

That actually ought to be happening.

If the federal government had been maintaining the male population of 18-42 year olds in proper arms and supplies we wouldn't need a military. We almost don't anymore now when you think about it. Who would invade us?

Fuck....

All the armies of the world combined wouldn't be able to keep boots on ground in TX alone.

Anyway, I think it would be great if state governments went back to keeping a small military force themselves and the feds to do nothing but hand out the training supplies.

A well regulated Militia is necessary to the security of a free State, so why shouldn't the government pay for my guns and ammo?
 
I am 100% against NOT amending the 2nd Amendment - and 100% for justifiable cooperate welfare, otherwise China will economically kick USA's butt.
OK, so who picks the winners and losers as far as corporate welfare goes?

Look at what is going on in SD.....And it's not the dems this time.

IMHO....Anyone who tries to use eminent domain to try and STEAL land from the owners should be shot, arrested, tried, and shot again.

Well yes, the argument is strong we have to give taxpayers money to gun manufacturers in Ohio so China doesn't "kick our butt".
 
You have millions of shitheads living in the US who support mass legal immigration of non-whites into the country and the right to bear arms at the same time... they seem to think like this:

Let's let the country become a multiracial cesspool and then count on our right to bear arms to save us from the warzone that multiracial cesspool will turn America into.

Here's a suggestion:

Why not stop America from becoming a violent, crime-ridden multiracial cesspool in the first place?

A capable and responsible government would categorize and list up (like China) - industry or economic ventures that serve the national interest.
So fuck GM if they can't build proper cars - and stuff companies with $$ that provide e.g. mineral resources or are into e.g. hydrogen technology.

Take from the people to give to corporations. Corporate Socialism.

Why not? It's not like that tax money is coming directly out of your pocket. It's just more of their own hard-earned money they get to keep.

That's incorrect. Did the "people" earn that money corporations made by producing goods? No they didn't. That money was earned by those corporations. I don't know f anyone's ever explained this to you, but "tax breaks" are just allowing businesses to keep more of their own money, instead of giving it to the government.

Did the government earn that money? Did you have to give those corporations money out of your own income?

No. Obviously you don't really know how tax breaks work, do you?

I know how tax breaks work. I also know "tax incentives" are something entirely different which is why they mention both.

All the same, the government should not be picking winners and losers.

So if you don't believe the government shouldn't be picking winners and losers, you'll agree that they shouldn't be dumping billions of dollars into "green energy", social welfare, abortion, the war in Eastern Europe, and other leftist causes?

Well imagine that! I don't believe it should be either.
