CBI Background Checks Clearing RAPIDLY

[lowbeyond]

This was debated yesterday in the hearing. The way the bill is written the FFLs can only charge $10.00. There is nothing in the bill that allows an FFL to refuse to do the transfer or charge more than $10.00. If a NICS fee/tax is imposed that would be above the $10.00 listed in the Bill.

I could have missed an amendment but there noting in the bill that requires them to do it. All it says is that you cannot transfer without getting a BG check. Hell you cant even loan your friend a gun unless you are at a State Approved venue.
