A reader, who happens to be a retired accountant, pointed out that what the DOR is attempting is already prohibited by state law.
He provided a link to the applicable rules, which state: "Dues and fees paid by persons for memberships in clubs that do not entitle the members to use recreational or physical fitness facilities are not subject to tax. Examples of such clubs are sewing clubs, bowling clubs, square dancing clubs, bridge clubs, and gun clubs where the dues or fees entitle the payor to be a member, but do not entitle the payor to use recreational or physical fitness facilities."
"The rules already exclude gun clubs, but not much can be done when the folks at DOR refuse to obey the rules," he said.
I couldn't agree more. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
