That sucks, Maine has had instant check for years. The worst part is at like a gun show, theres usually no internet or good cell service (although it is improving) and you'll have to go outside with the dealer to complete that step of the transaction. Theres no reason we can't have nationwide instant check. It should work similar to credit reporting where you can check up on yourself and make sure the record is accurate. -Curt

If I want to sell or gift to a hunting buddy I've known for 50 years I need to go to an FFL holder and fork over $25. The check can take up to a few days. If it were actually free and instant it would be less onerous.

I'm not a big fan of regulation but I think there are some people who clearly shouldn't have guns. The shooter in Orlando for instance. If the laws currently on the books for background checks had been doing their job he wouldn't have been able to legally buy guns in the first place considering he was a known wife-beating anti-social, pretty much all around not-good-guy. I don't think that instant check infringes on my rights to own a gun in any way. More over supporting it would be a win for the NRA since polls seem to show most people agree with me. Instead the NRA just looks completely obstructionist and their "good guy with a gun" mantra just gives the anti-gun crowd more fodder. As you mention in the case at hand, prior restraint does not prevent violent crime, so why should the NRA or anybody else embrace it as a 'commie sense gun restriction'? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sapz4qVyHGI _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
