What are they trying to do?

 

[Joe13]

Yea I don't see what changes are being proposed so I don't want to comment until then.

"Language in I-1639 allows DOL to charge a fee not to exceed $25 on all transfers in order to offset the administrative costs associated with the additional background check requirements. This fee is to be collected by firearm dealers processing transfers to be remitted to DOL and is separate from any other transfer fees that dealers may charge."

 

[Jeedia]

Commented!

 

[Joe13]

Opposed and commented

 

[TCOV]

Opposed and commented that there should be no fee to exercise what is a constitutional right under Washington and federal law.

 

[Makers Mark]

Thanks for the heads up on this. I left a comment opposing said fee.

 

[ar addict]

Done, very much opposed to fee and any more gun control.

 

[DB is Here]

Opposed and commented. These fees to exercise a Civil Right are infuriating.

Pushing evermore law abiding citizens underground.

 

[Jeedia]

I laughed. They had 90% comments against it, with only 1 comment in favor, and still past an $18 fee. Complete disregard for the people.

 

[mikegalmo]

I would not expect less. We live in post Constitutional times. It's the boiling frog effect. The government and the pack mentality voters who elected them put us in tepidly warm water, and have been turning up the heat on us just a little bit at a time so we haven't even noticed that they are boiling us to death. Now, we're at an impasse and heading not only down the Kalifornia path of losing our 2A rights but will soon be passing them up. Our choice is to submit, or become felons.
