All the background check system returns to a dealer...

...is "authorized," "denied," or "delayed." That's it, no other information to the dealer. On the NICS database end of things, I'm not sure of any specifics about data security (other than that it's in place and is said to be robust).

I like your idea of a reporting hotline (with proper due process safeguards).

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
