Oklahoma Dem calls for repeal of taxes on gun purchases
You don’t see this out of a politician very often, let alone one with a ‘D’ after his name:
A Tulsa lawmaker said Tuesday he will file legislation to repeal the sales tax on the purchase of guns or ammunition in Oklahoma.
“As Americans, we should not have to pay a tax to exercise our constitutional rights — especially our Second Amendment rights,” said Rep. Eric Proctor, D-Tulsa.
Via a reader who adds:
We could use some Dems like that in Chicagoland … sigh.

It’s actually unconstitutional to charge a tax for the exercise of a constitutional right as per Murdock vs. Pennsylvania. I wrote about this several months ago here: http://journeytotheotherside.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/how-we-can-win/
One of the reasons I like living in Tulsa. Thanks for the post on this I hadn’t heard about this story.
