The first guns I bought after they imposed background checks did not go well. I was denied because the Pennsylvania data base that they used for gun purchases had an incorrect social security number despite the fact that I had been paying taxes and submitting tax returns to the same state for 25 years.
It took my state representative and a month to get it fixed. In the mean time, the guns that I had bought at auction were resold and I never did get them.
That is why the government can not take forever to approve a background check. |

I should add that I am an army veteran with an honorable discharge, never charged with any crime, and had a Professional Engineering License in four states. But the government would not approve my purchase of a gun because their records were incorrect. |

QUOTES
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"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
