An assault rifle for non-military personnel is not needed for adequate self defense, so it's a luxury item in my mind.
If you're an Average Joe on a budget and you really want a semi-automatic, you're gonna have to save and/or choose a semi-automatic over a new truck, a vacation, nights at the bar, etc... That's not unreasonable to me.
The fee might be lower than $2,000 though - that was just an example. The administration cost (whatever that might be) should be covered by the applicant, not the taxpayers, in my opinion.
