There is NO excuse for the removal of people with drug convictions from the NICS data base.

so someone who got busted for pot possession 30 years ago should go to federal prison when he inherits Grandma's skeet gun? That sounds like ummmmmmmm less than liberal.

Further the NRA was the group that pushed for the NICS data base to be voluntary, and then at the state level pushed those same conservative legislators to block funding and not authorize submission of the names to the NICS data base - in other words, they deliberately gutted it of most of its efficiency and usefulness.

can you provide evidence of this? You do know how our federal system works right? So the NRA pushed for medical privacy laws?
