So... if I, a law-abiding gun owner, am not responsible for the "true costs" of gun owership, as you say, why then should I be made to pay for those "true costs"?
And, again:
-What other rights have a "true cost" that should also suffer a hefty licensing fee?

The fee, by increasing the price of ownership, reduces demand and therefore this source of deaths

This doesnt address my question.
Criminals do not license their guns, nor can they be forced to.
How will the high license fees affect criminals, who get their guns illegally?
