Ohio GOP lawmakers want to make guns cheaper by exempting them from sales tax

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Guns could become more accessible under a newly introduced bill in the Ohio House that would exempt guns and ammunition from sales tax in the state.

We don't want to penalize individuals that want to exercise their right," state Rep. Josh Williams (R-Oregon) said. "The government shouldn't be profiting from responsible gun owners who are attempting to exercise their Second Amendment rights."

Williams is the cosponsor of House Bill 189, which would eliminate the sales tax on guns and ammunition.

Any medical treatment provided for GSW (Gun Shot Wounds) will be subject to sales tax, in order to encourage people being shot at to get out of the way faster.
