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 |
Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
