Firearm license management should not operate on a cost recovery basis. I'm not just against this because I'm a LFO, but it concerns me where does it end. The government already earns a substantial amount of money from the GST (and other duties) on equipment purchases by all firearms users. From rough import figures this with current FAL charges significantly exceeds the cost of running firearms license management.
