Clinton seeks $600 annual fee for gun dealers
The Clinton administration proposes a $600 yearly firearms license fee to deter non compliant or casual operators. Treasury Secretary Bentsen will unveil the plan as part of broader gun control measures. ATF estimates 80 percent of the 244,000 dealers might drop licenses, while licensed dealers gain extended cross state shipment rights. The fee targets home based sellers and expands regulatory oversight under the Brady Act era.
