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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
