NSSF Factsheet: Permit to Purchase
PERMIT TO PURCHASE – TAXATION OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
- The practice of charging mandatory fees to exercise a fundamental right has discriminatory roots.
- “Considering this evidence and an evaluation of the studies’ strengths, we find inconclusive evidence for the effect of licensing and permitting requirements on total homicides and firearm homicides.” (RAND Corporation)
- The permit process is irrelevant since all purchases from a firearms retailer must go through an FBI background check.
