with these transfers..are FFL's supposed to add sales tax to the guns? like if i bout a compliant gun from a tax free state, and get it transferred to MA?
The reality is the guys charging sales tax are jamming that shit right into their pocket. They just don't want to go on the record as charging like $50-75 or more for a transfer. (as ****ed up as it sounds, people will actually fall for the sales tax ruse, but they would bristle at a $75 transfer fee. This is probably why they do that shit. )
