The Virginia FFL/CHRC Fee Thread - Come One, Come All, Let's discuss this.... - 10/12/23 01:42 PM
Here is my topic starter.
A link to the pic from today's Shoutbox discussion. The topic is: What are the fees that the law (federal or commonwealth) allows for a Criminal History Records Check and a dealers transfer fee.
My current stance:
CHRC: Up to $17
Transfer Fee: Not mentioned in either federal or state law

Rhetorical rebuttal: How does a state "allow" a fee for a service?

Fees = taxes
The power to tax is contained in law. For a state, it’s in the state constitution. For the federal government, it’s enshrined in federal law as the tax code.

A fee charged by a private entity for a service provided by that entity is not a tax.
If the government wants to set a limit on a fee, they should provide the service as well.

Does it say in the 2nd Amendment or any civil right that you have to pay a fee or tax to exercise that right?? I think gun safety should be taught in school and it should be free. It would also be an opportunity for police to meet and greet their constituents. Especially with kids/teens. This is IMHO.
