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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
