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? |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
