Ron DeSantis Proposes "Gun Sales Tax Holiday" as Part of Next Florida State Budget
Briefly

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis intends to introduce a 'Second Amendment Summer' sales tax holiday aimed at reducing costs for gun and firearm accessory buyers from Memorial Day to July 4th. This initiative, part of a broader proposed budget featuring six tax holidays, could save state gun buyers about $8 million. However, this comes with significant trade-offs, as it also results in $8 million of lost revenue for the state. Notably, polls indicate that many Floridians favor stricter gun control measures, raising concerns over the implications of promoting firearm purchases during a high-risk season for gun violence.
Polling demonstrates that most Floridians support tighter gun restrictions, suggesting that the gun sales tax holiday may not be a popular move among most residents.
