But they are not actually banning garage sales in Louisiana. They will let you have a garage sale if you get personal information on all the buyers, and incidentally, if you collect sales tax from them.

I can only see this new regulation at hurting poor people and working class people, and states such as Louisana tend to have some of the poorest people in the country. Who is proposing this legislation, and do they have a reason behind it? Garage sales have been fun and affordable ways for people to buy clothes and toys for their kids. Just because some dodos sell stolen items at a garage sale does not mean people are going to stop stealing things. I also was told recently by a man he had his bike stolen three times, and the police recovered it. However, he did not have the serial number on his bike, so he cannot get his bike back. So even if you ban garage sales, people who do nefarious things like bike theft are just going to look for more shady ways to do things. Banning a garage sale just hurts law abiding citizens.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.com
