A reader, who happens to be a retired accountant, pointed out that what the DOR is attempting is already prohibited by state law.
He provided a link to the applicable rules, which state: "Dues and fees paid by persons for memberships in clubs that do not entitle the members to use recreational or physical fitness facilities are not subject to tax. Examples of such clubs are sewing clubs, bowling clubs, square dancing clubs, bridge clubs, and gun clubs where the dues or fees entitle the payor to be a member, but do not entitle the payor to use recreational or physical fitness facilities."
"The rules already exclude gun clubs, but not much can be done when the folks at DOR refuse to obey the rules," he said.
I couldn't agree more. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. � Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
