That was simply not true. Now we're arguing the degree to which they do. I will take that as a tacit admission that they do.

The NRA bankrolled a lawsuit to prevent that from happening.

Wrong -- they bankrolled a lawsuit to prevent state and local law enforcement from being tasked with enforcing federal law. It's called an "unfunded mandate." The establish of the NICS system rendered the Printz case moot, since local law enforcement no longer had to conduct the background checks themselves.
