No Check, No Sale Bill

[Vol Texan]

I read this on USACarry today. I don’t think it has much chance of passing, but you never know what could happen with the weak-spined so-called conservatives that we have in D.C.

From the article:

Under current federal law, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) allows licensed dealers to proceed with a sale if a background check has not been completed within three business days for buyers over 21, or ten business days for those under 21. The new bill seeks to eliminate that default proceed safeguard, effectively halting firearm transfers indefinitely until federal agencies finalize a check — no matter how delayed.

The failsafe process built into the Brady bill was simple: If the government agency fails to do its job in a timely manner, the citizen isn’t punished - the sale goes on as planned. This was designed so that applications couldn’t be pigeonholed forever, denying rights to us.

But of course, what good is a right if we can’t find a new way to infringe upon it? Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely.
