The great state of South Carolina is putting its own sick twist on Black Friday with a tax holiday on firearm purchases.

Not cars.

Not clothes.

Certainly not books.

Just guns.

Money is tight. Any tax break is welcome imo, unless you are pc.

If money is so tight, what the heck does anyone need with another gun then?

If you don't want one then don't buy one.

I was responding to the post about money being tight, not for myself. If someone choses to buy a gun or any other nonnecessity when they can't afford it, when that is as bad as buying a new car or house or whatever when you can't afford it.

Drug dealers and gangsters are NOT buying guns over the counter where they can be registered.

That's right.

In South Carolina they buy them at gun shows from "Private Sellers" who don't buy and sell more than four or five hundred "personal firearms" apiece in a given year.

Personal sellers here are not required to file any paperwork.
