This is from Cory's link:<br /><br />Wise said he was sitting at the front desk during the April gun show at Pine Bluffs when a participant got into a confrontation with a state sales tax representative. The tax agent called for backup from the Pine Bluffs Police Department.<br /><br />Wise said the police officer intervened, the tax agent left and no charges were filed. He said he thought both men had "short fuses."<br /><br />Steve SibsonExposing false accusersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-19638214029798042142010-07-06T10:07:04.711-06:002010-07-06T10:07:04.711-06:00Ask the Wyoming tax chief, Steve.

Problem is, with all the crazies doing crazy things, people in my position are used to getting a bad rap.<br /><br />Sure, the 2nd amendment gives people the right to bear arms, but now we're extending that to tax exemptions?<br /><br />If this were a special tax on firearms, I'd say that tax isn't fair and it needs to change. However, in this case, the Department of Revenue is just trying to collect the standard 5% sales tax. Wyoming law is clear in this matter that the tax must be collected and paid to the state.<br /><br />Maybe the legislature will change the law next session. We already don't pay taxes on goceries, why not extend that to guns?<br /><br />I hear the marketing now, "Come to Wyoming, where your guns and groceries are tax free!"Mark O'Loughlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707763013967725616noreply@blogger.com
