Bill > HJR120

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to exempt ammunition and firearms from state sales tax in Missouri, to be voted on during the general election in November 2026 or potentially at a special election called by the governor. The proposed amendment to Article X of the Missouri Constitution includes language emphasizing the importance of the Second Amendment right to bear arms, asserting that because this right is "necessary to the security of a free State," the state will not impose sales tax on firearms or ammunition. By adding this provision to the state constitution, the resolution aims to permanently prevent the state from collecting sales tax on these items, which could potentially make ammunition and firearms more affordable for Missouri residents who wish to purchase them.
