"As part of his 2004-05 budget, Pataki has proposed making handgun permits, currently issued for life, renewable every five years, while tacking on other new fees. The plan has received little support in the Legislature.

If approved, Pataki's plan could raise as much as $11.3 million a year, according to the governor's budget office. The plan is aimed at helping the state close a budget deficit of $4 billion to $5 billion.

Pataki proposed charging $100 every five years for the permit, plus $25 for each additional handgun someone with a permit wants to use.

That doesn't include what a county would charge for handling the permitting process.

Pataki has proposed letting counties charge whatever they want for dealing with that responsibility. "

If this doesn't piss me off to the height of pissedoffedivity, they're gonna let this shit happen to the honest gun owners so they can pay the debts caused by illegal motherfuckers in the first place???

This is punishing the law abiding citizen for the deeds of the unlawful. It's another way of fucking over us for them.

I'm too pissed to write anymore.
