Ten Dollar Tax No Longer Impeding Gun Ownership

While paying $10 and a visit to the local sheriff does not seem like much, it is apparent from the reaction in Ozark, Missouri after the repeal of the requirement that it was sufficient to discourage many from exercising their second amendment right. Gun sales at small and large dealers in the area have skyrocketed. "We've noticed more people are buying multiple handguns," one local gun salesman said. "Before, if you wanted to buy three handguns you had to get three sheriff's permits at $10 a piece. Now you don't. ... We fill out a special form that goes to the sheriff and ATF if a person buys more than one handgun within five business days, just to let them know about it," he said. "We've done four of those forms so far today."
