ATTENTION OREGON NRA MEMBERS IN UMATILLA COUNTY: PLAN TO ATTEND HEARING IN PENDLETON NEXT WEEK TO OPPOSE GUN TAX INCREASE!

Friday, June 18, 2010

The Oregon State Police is currently holding hearings across the state, 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.  Note: because this is a widespread review of all OSP services, fingerprint processing fees for Concealed Handgun License applicants are also being examined for a similar hike!  

Please attend the hearing scheduled for Wednesday, June 23, from 9:00am-11:00am in the Pioneer Hall (P-132) Room of Blue Mountain Community College, located at 2411 NW Carden Avenue in Pendleton, and voice your objections to increasing the tax on, or continuing to register, lawful gun buyers.
