Exactly like NICS: it has done NOTHING to reduce gun crime, but it has been a huge pain for folks who consistently come up "delayed", all because some thug shares their name and date of birth.

Just 15 years ago you didn't need government approval to buy a gun. Now we have fellow "gun people" suggesting that it's "reasonable" to open your medical and mental health records to the bureaucrats who decide whether or not you're worthy to enjoy the right to self defense.

No infringement is "reasonable".

Isn't it funny... 15 years ago there was no such thing as a background check or waiting period except in a couple of states. Gun rights activists fought tooth and nail against having either of them implemented, but certain folks worked quietly in the background to give us a permanent NICS system.

These days, most gun rights folks accept and even defend NICS; a handful of activists (like me) seek to eliminate it or at least hold the status quo, but the same folks who created it now want to increase its scope.

Fifteen years ago I didn't need anyone's permission to buy a firearm. Now my "friends" want to force me to have not just my criminal history, but also my medical history checked, just to make sure mine aren't "the wrong hands".



Would someone please grab that other goalpost, and we'll move them back to our end of the field?
