I always thought that at least here in California - when you purchase a weapon, (rifle, pistol) - you have a two week waiting period as you go through the background checks.

30 days after that period, those records are "suppose" to be destroyed.

Is it that in other states there is a long term paper trail on weapons purchases or do I not understand what the system is here in the state?

I've looked through the bill and found no way that the government can use it to go on widespread fisihing expiditions. I've posted this comment several times and havn't had anyone else show me how this legislation could be used in the was that the GOA is claiming.

I strongly support the rights of gun owners, but I believe that the GOA is not only wrong on this but they appear to be intentionally misleading people in their efforts to fight the Patriot Act.

I started writing my representatives to support them after reading their press release that this could be used to infringe on my gun rights. People suggested on this forum that I write a more personalized letter than just using the GOA template, so I went and read the bill so I could argue my point in such a letter.

I found that I simply couldn't argue that point from the bill.

I don't like being lied to.

I support the patriot act, and after reading it I support what that bill does.

I no longer support the GOA and will not support them until the people who made the decision to mislead their supporters resign.
