                                     JOINT RESOLUTION
    Submitting to the qualified voters of Missouri an amendment to Article X of the Constitution
          of Missouri, by adopting one new section relating to a sales tax exemption.


    Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring therein:

            That at the next general election to be held in the state of Missouri, on Tuesday next
2   following the first Monday in November, 2026, or at a special election to be called by the
3   governor for that purpose, there is hereby submitted to the qualified voters of this state, for
4   adoption or rejection, the following amendment to Article X of the Constitution of the state of
5   Missouri:
            Section A. Article X, Constitution of Missouri, is amended by adopting one new
2   section, to be known as Section 27, to read as follows:
            Section 27. Because the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution
2   contains the only enumerated right "necessary to the security of a free State", and
3   because the state of Missouri believes that "the right of the people to keep and bear
4   Arms" is necessary for our free society to exist, there shall be no state sales tax levied or
5   imposed on any sales of any firearms or ammunition in this state.
