I'm pretty sure HR 3987 might not pass constitutional muster. The government charging a fee to exercise a constitutional right is usually a no-no. It would be akin to the state charging you a fee if you want an attorney to represent you, or charging a fee to give a speech on your own property. So issues would (should) arise by charging to exercise 2A rights. Most protest permits are without fees, as charging for free speech, even on public property, may not be acceptable if challenged.
