What is the financial “burden” on gun owners?
The requirements for registration and licensing are reasonable, given the risks associated with guns. You may obtain more information on the program on the CFC website. The firearms license which entitles you to possess firearms costs $60 and must be renewed every 5 years. That’s $12 per year, less than the cost of a dog license in most cities. The registration fees are one-time fees of $25, unless the firearm is sold or transferred. Clearly, the benefits outweigh the inconvenience.
