The shop I work at got an email today regarding the NICS system that stated any background check that goes to a "Further Review" status (stated as "Researching" when done online) will automatically go to the "Delayed" status for the time being. That is unfortunate, because we have a lot of people change their minds about buying a firearm if they can't walk out with the firearm the day they look at it.
For many larger stores, like Academy and WalMart, it means their firearms sales could suffer since they refuse to sell a firearm to anyone that doesn't get a "Proceed". They will not sell to a customer when the background check goes to an "Open" status after the three day waiting period.
I sometimes wonder if things like this are merely a backdoor way of trying to curb firearms sales.
