So, now it appears that the fees received for doing all these background checks did not actually ONLY cover the costs of those background checks, but were actually an integral part of the OSBI's revenue stream for other functions as well? . If not, then they wouldn't need replacement revenue, would they. This is definitive PROOF that the fees were a tax on firearm ownership and the exercise of a Constitutional Right. . Class action suit based on "poll tax" rulings from SCOTUS, anybody? |

Is this an admission that license to carry is about tax revenue and not about safety? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
