- [The high price of Alabama’s low taxes](https://newsletteramerica.com/2023/09/24/the-high-price-of-alabamas-low-taxes/): The choice between gun access and law enforcement: Alabama’s attitude toward guns reveals the lawmakers’ priorities. Last year, when faced with a choice between gun access and funding law enforcement, Republican lawmakers chose gun access.  Concealed carry permits: This was a bill that made concealed carry permits optional. There was no mass demand for this. But the National Rifle Association threw a ball, and Republican lawmakers chased it.  Sheriffs’ income loss: Pistol permits were a major source of revenue for Alabama sheriffs. Losing that created a funding problem, as the Alabama Sheriffs’ Association repeatedly pointed out before the bill passed.  New fees and donations: Lawmakers tried to address the shortfall with a grant program, but it didn’t restore all the lost income. They also quietly passed other bills that created or raised existing vehicle and court fees.  Madness: Lawmakers, who claimed to be committed to law and order, cut off a key funding source for law enforcement agencies and authorized two sheriffs to hold fundraisers - possibly rodeos or bake sales - to fund a critical public service. This is nothing but shifting the burden from gun owners to car owners and people in the criminal justice system.
