Hi Patrick, yes there is. Bud's is required to collect sales tax for the state in which you live.
Stay safe & have a great day!

Yes buds will collect sales tax based on your state of residence.
Hi Patrick and welcome. Yes, Bud's Gun Shop collects sales tax on behalf of the state where the buyer resides. This is a result of the Supreme Court case South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc., which changed the rules for online retailers and sales tax collection. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
If the state you are in charges state taxes on purchases then yes.

Sir Patrick,
Yes. When you buy a firearm online and have it shipped to a licensed firearms dealer (FFL), you are subject to the same sales tax rules as in-person purchases. The seller usually collects sales tax based on the shipping address.
Certain states like California have additional $25 state-level EXCISE tax applied to the retail sale of firearms and ammunition. The fee is designed to help fund firearm safety programs, law enforcement, and related public safety initiatives. Best to check your local state to see if there's any additional fees required when purchasing a firearm.
Hope this helps Patrick. Please take care and stay safe 🙏
