Was watching The Five on FNC and one of the "conservatives" on the panel was saying how expanding background checks would hurt the poor/minorities. He stated that due to the cost of the checks, $60-$70 and higher the poor would, in effect be denied gun ownership due to the cost. I know here in VA the cost is $2. Where in the hell do they charge the kind of money this guy was stating?
I know in CA all private sales go through an FFL who also stores the firearm during the mandatory waiting period before transferring it to the new owner. Not sure what they storage charge is be even then I'd thing $60-$70 would be a little on the high side. Anyone on the board paying that kind of money for a back ground check?
P.S. I've never gone thru an FFL for a private sale here in VA so maybe they can charge more when it's not a direct sale from them?
