Stupid Democrats.
Criminals don't obey laws. All these laws only restrict the rights of law abiding citizens that aren't the problem. |

I reiterate (and I seem to be the only one pointing this out) that there is no constitutionally delegated power for the federal gov't to do this.
The power to mandate background checks at retail issues from the commerce clause. The feds can mandate commercial licensing and impose conditions upon those licenses. Private transfers are not commerce, hence no power to mandate private background checks resides there. One can tediously pore over the rest of the Constitution looking for such authorization, but you will not find it.
Because it ISN'T in there.
This law would be facially unconstitutional. |

| Once again Repressive Democrats show that they couldn't care less about the Background Checks only in increasing the expense, red tape, inconvience and the number of booby traps they can set for the unwary to discourage gun ownership. Open the NICS phone lines to private individuals if they really believe that background checks do anything except promote the Black Market for untraceable guns. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
