Sequester Blues

Strangely my "blue" state figured out that if they trusted me to run around with a gun in my pants, maybe making me wait 3 days wasn't THAT big of a deal. Without that precious $60+ scrap of government paper though, I'd be in the 3-Day line again.
 
scare tactics. Anything to make it look like the american people cannot live without the government getting more and more money.

With Obama's intentions clear do you really think the FBI is going to work feverishly to get background checks done? They have probably been encouraged to take more donut breaks.

I don't think the folks in West Virginia get many donut breaks.

That said, if I wanted under-the-radar gun control, all I'd have to do is slash payroll for the NICS system, and that would throw a wrench into the works something awful.

Some might remember its inception in 1998-1999. It wasn't uncommon for the system to just be down for days on end. It was a hassle for dealers, and many first-time buyers were unnecessarily intimidated by the process. Gold star for anyone who can name the guy in charge of it at that point.
 
And Eric Holder was Deputy Attorney General under Reno starting 1997. (Sounds like the cast for Scream). I have a sick feeling Tom is hinting at Holder being the NICS guy in 1998.
 
If there are delays it will make having a valid AZ concealed carry permit all the nicer for residents. Still have to fill out the paper work but the FFL doesn't need to call it in.
 
Wait what? The FEDERAL firearms licensee doesn't have to call the FEDS if you have a STATE concealed permit? That doesn't sound right. It may make the check quicker because you are more identifiable, and it may eliminate a state mandated waiting period, but I can't believe they can hold a federal license, and avoid federal law because of a state exemption.
 
It's not a state exemption. It's an exemption written into the brady bill. If a permit/permitting process meets the requirements it grants exemption.
 
Meets what requirements?
