Proposed 11% "delivery" tax on all firearms sales.
Stop the Unfair Firearm Tax – Take Action Now!.
This Petition Is Closed. The matter has moved away from the committee.
Thank you for your support. We will have updates later.
The Maryland House Ways and Means Committee is considering a proposed 11% delivery fee on firearms, a burdensome tax disguised as a regulatory fee. This measure unfairly targets law-abiding gun owners, disproportionately impacts middle- and working-class Marylanders, and places additional strain on small businesses.
📢 Petition to Oppose Maryland’s Unfair 11% Firearm Tax
To: The Maryland House Ways and Means Committee
As concerned Maryland residents, we stand in strong opposition to the proposed 11% delivery fee on firearms currently under consideration by the Maryland House Ways and Means Committee. This measure is a disguised tax that unfairly burdens law-abiding gun owners and small businesses without providing any proven public safety benefits.
This tax would:
❌ Increase costs for responsible gun owners, disproportionately impacting middle- and working-class Marylanders
❌ Create financial barriers to exercising Second Amendment rights
❌ Hurt small businesses, driving firearm sales to neighboring states or online retailers
❌ Add unnecessary and redundant taxation, despite existing sales and excise taxes
We urge the members of the House Ways and Means Committee to reject this unfair proposal and focus instead on solutions that address the root causes of violence—such as mental health resources, community outreach, and enforcement of existing laws.
