In a disturbing move aimed at making gun ownership more difficult and costly in the Badger State, Governor Jim Doyle’s budget bill seeks to raise the fee on background checks from $8 to $30.
Governor Doyle wants gun owners to pay three times more for a background check, before they can exercise their Second Amendment rights. The money that is collected from this fee is going to a newly created “criminal justice support fund” to fund the various needs of law enforcement.
Please contact your State Senator at (608) 266-2517 and your State Representative at (608) 266-1501 today and respectfully request that he or she oppose Governor Doyle’s unfair gun tax.
