On Monday, Governor Ron DeSantis announced a brand-new Florida Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday, which runs now through December 31, 2025.
“We’re committed to helping Floridians keep more of their hard-earned money, and the Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday is one way to do that,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Florida is a great state for outdoor adventure and exercising your Second Amendment rights, and we’re working to keep it that way.”
The Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday will suspend collection of sales tax on the retail sale of items needed for hunting, fishing, or camping in Florida’s great outdoors. It will allow Floridians to save money on supplies needed to celebrate their Second Amendment rights, including items such as:
- Ammunition
- Bows and Crossbows, as well as accessories
- Firearms including pistols, rifles, and shotguns
- Firearm accessories such as holsters, grips, sights, stocks, and cleaning kits
It will also allow Floridians to save money on supplies needed for other sportsman activities such as camping or fishing, covering items such as:
- Camping lanterns and flashlights for $30 or less
- Camping stoves, hammocks, chairs, and sleeping bags for $50 or less
- Tents for $200 or less
- Bait and tackle up to $5 if sold individually or $10 if packaged together
- Tackle bags and boxes up to $30
- Rods and Reels up to $75 if sold individually or up to $150 if sold in a set

Excellent! In the time period from 2013 to 2019, alone, there were ONLY 153 mass shootings (defined as 4 or more injuries), with 236 deaths and 665 injuries. And from 2014 to 2023 the death rate by firearms increased by 19%. Just what Florida needs.
My thoughts exactly! How about extending tax holiday on school supplies instead?
Naw, that would be actually beneficial to folks. The NRA and his base doesn’t care about that.
