Unless you buy quite a few guns the $10 fee for a background check isn't a big expense item for most buyers, but even so it should be free since there is still a WWII era Federal excise tax paid by the manufacturer and built into the wholesale price of every new gun you buy.
Gun buyers in my state, GA, didn't have to have the FBI checkout if the buyer had a GA carry permit until recently when we were notified that the much more thorough background check required by GA to obtain a carry permit would no longer be accepted by the feds and we would have to pay for a new FBI check each time we buy a gun. It's supposed to be another way to prevent would-be terrorists from buying guns, but that doesn't make sense. If a person goes through the GA background check required for a carry permit, anything fishy in his or her record will be brought to light. A new checkout at every gun purchase is a total waste of time and money. If H.R. 500 becomes law the $10 fee for that redundant FBI check will not be charged to any gun buyer, including those of us who have carry permits.
If you like that idea please call or write your Congresscritter and tell him/her to vote yea on HR 500 if he/she wants your vote next time.
