Is the creation of new improved background check system a way to protect the people or another avenue for government funding? Have the cost associated with the improved system of checks been identified? In Oregon the current background check fee is $10 dollars, what is the proposed increase if a federal requirement is added?
The department of homeland security requires a Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC) that is a stringent background check that may take weeks to get approved and is a requirement for entry into certain facilities; it costs around $130 dollars and requires renewal.
The TWIC card page from TSA Numbers:
Enrolled: 2,411,520 x $130 = $313,497,600
Issued: 2,218,330 x $130 = $288,382,900
Im also curious about what information, about me, the computer chip in the card contains?
Without any numbers in front of me;
How much money is spent on background checks at a local, state and federal level each year?
If a federal mandated system is put in place will the cost be somewhere in the middle of the 10-130 dollar figure. Will current gun owners be grandfathered in or be required to submit to the check. Will it only happen during the sale of a firearm? Will private transactions require a check?
Lets add 100 million background checks to the system at $50 per check thats another 5 billion for the government coffers.
When it comes to it politicians; the real talk is money
DONT TREAD ON ME
