Proposes a constitutional amendment that authorizes a sales tax exemption for ammunition
HJR 87 proposes amending Missouri's constitution to eliminate the state sales tax on all firearms and ammunition. If approved by voters, this would remove sales tax for anyone purchasing these items in Missouri. The amendment requires voter approval at a future election (either the November 2026 general election or a special election called by the governor). This change would directly affect gun sellers, ammunition retailers, and buyers within the state. The bill is currently pending in committee and has not yet been enacted.
