Oregon: Your Attendance is Needed at Hearing in Central Point Next Week to Oppose Gun Tax Increase!
June. 8th 2010
The Oregon State Police (OSP) is currently reviewing possible fee increases for services provided by the agency, including conducting background checks on firearms purchasers. State law currently mandates that the buyer must pay the $10 fee for this service, and OSP maintains records on individuals cleared for purchases. NRA-ILA strongly opposes OSP’s proposal to nearly TRIPLE that fee to $28, as well as the agency’s plan to continue registering legal firearms purchasers.
