KITZMAN AUTHORS FIREARM BILL

  

District 85 State Representative Stan Kitzman announced that he has authored House Bill 3750.

The bill would exempt firearms and ammunition, as well as components of a firearm from sales tax.

Representative Kitzman said that he believes it is a violation of the Second Amendment to tax something intergral to exercising one’s rights. 

House Bill 3750 would also continue to exempt firearm accessories and safety equipment from sales tax, including gun lock boxes, safety training manuals, and other items used in conjunction with a firearm. 

Kitzman said West Virginia passed a similar bill in 2021, and that five other states don’t tax firearms. 

He added that he feels now is the time for Texans to stand up for their Constitutional Rights.

Other recent bills co-authored by Kitzman include HB 20, expanding border protections, HB 1075, protecting Texas from foreign agricultural interests, and HB 1581, enhancing the penalty for the manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance causing death or serious bodily injury.
