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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
