NASHVILLE - An East Tennessee lawmaker wants there to be an annual tax-free weekend geared toward gun owners. <\/p>\n
The bill, filed by Rep. Dennis Powers, R-Jacksboro, would establish the \"Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday\" for the first weekend of September. <\/p>\n
The tax holiday would cover firearms and ammunition. Guns covered by the tax discount would include shotguns, rifles, pistols, revolvers, BB guns, and Muzzleloaders, according to the bill's text. <\/p>\n
Tennessee already features an annual tax-free weekend at the end of summer, but that's geared specifically toward back-to-school shopping. <\/p>\n
Last year, Louisiana and Mississippi each hosted a Second Amendment sales tax holiday weekend. <\/p>\n
If approved, Tennessee's first \"Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday\" would be in 2017. <\/p>\n
