Seriously, the stupid among the righties, my erstwhile allies, is HIGH in this thread.
What kind of genius could possibly oppose an instant criminal background check? It DOES work, applicants ARE TURNED DOWN, arrests ARE MADE as a result.
And because of the instant background check, WHICH THE NRA PUSHED FOR, arrests can actually be made on the scene, in real time. IT DOES HAPPEN.
Seriously people, HULL-O.

M21,
You’re out to lunch on NICS having any positive effect except BS feel good.
Last I checked, and it was years ago, the denied number was in the six figures but arrests only in triple digits and convictions only in double digits. Those are extremely poor percentages by any standards that I am aware of. Someone else can check more current percentages. I nor anyone else I know of can see any common sense in those ratios.
If you’ve had certain background investigations you will be denied every time MICS is checked, this includes security background investigations. Since NICS was initiated I have had every check denied, the reason is the background checks. I know many others that have the history.
