The Brady Law....

9. No, that is not all...

I wrote. In part, you stated, "...established the 3-day waiting period for purchases."

My post showed there is no federal waiting period.

The Brady Law mandated the creation of NICS. A system that was proposed long before the technology was available. That system is in operation today. However, the fact the system was proposed long before the technology was available, it is safe to assume such a system would have been created and the law would have been put into effect in a different law without the Brady Law.

The most desired aspect of the Brady Law was declared unconstitutional (mandated CLEO checks). Other aspects have been rendered null and void, (the mandatory waiting period) but the creation of a system under said law is operational. The NICS system was a compromise in the Brady Law. Gun control proponents did not want an "instant system". They wanted "waiting periods". I can accept the argument the law is not, in its entirety, null and void as I stated it was. However, few, if any, "experts" cite only the NICS aspect of the Brady Law as still being in effect, but instead refer to the law by name, as if it is still in effect, in its entirely.

Have you ever heard any "expert" (on TV etc.) refer to the now unconstitutional and/or null and void aspects of the Brady Law? When the USSC handed down its decision regarding CLEO's and the Brady Law, I dont remember it being mentioned in the news (at least not in the "mainstream media&quot and I was paying attention. I suspect had the decision gone the other way, it would have been the lead story on the evening news, etc..
