I pay for a license, supposedly all FOIDS are run through a check nearly every day, to check for criminal/court activity, but I still have to go through a regular check when purchasing, along with a 3 day waiting period. A "triple play" for purchasing firearms, and still, the ball gets dropped occasionally. Someone could have a false positive on a check (similar name, etc.), and get delayed on their receipt of firearm. This is a delay in exercise of a right, IMHO, similar to needing a permit to write a news article, a "waiting period" to get defense counsel, etc.

Do you believe that the words"shall not" have 2 or 3 meanings? oneshooter Apr 2021 #24

The debate over gun control does not revolve around "shall not." The issue is "infringed." TomSlick Apr 2021 #25

You do know that during this period in history there was little/no "gun control " as you know it. oneshooter Apr 2021 #26
