This week, a subcommittee of the Senate Budget Committee made conceptual revisions and recommendations to the full commmittee on SB 954, the NRA-opposed gun tax. Although it appears as if Concealed Handgun License fingerprinting fee hikes may be removed from the bill, it still contains a background check fee increase proposed by the Oregon State Police on all firearm transfers (from $10 to $13). While this is certainly an improvement over the original proposal (from $10 to $25), it still represents a 30% increase in the tax to purchase a firearm in the State of Oregon. Please contact your State Senators and urge them to oppose SB 954 and any proposed tax on lawful firearms purchases in Oregon.
