The FBI "temporarily" halted efforts to process denial appeals on background checks, thereby leaving up to "7,100" Americans in limbo as to whether the federal government will allow them to buy a gun.

According to USA Today, FBI Assistant Director Stephen Morris said the halt in processing appeals, which went into effect on January 20, became necessary because the number of Americans buying guns has overwhelmed FBI background check examiners.

Hmmmmm. Now that's just weird huh?

"...whether the federal government will allow them to buy a gun." That's even weirder. "Allow" them to buy a gun? Must be in the fine print at the end of the 2nd amendment that I missed. I guess this is a step beyond the 'proceed after the third day' if no response is given?

Probably too many agents tied up on Hillary’s email investigation.

This is the point I’ve tried to make repeatedly to our Comrades on the national Socialist Left.

1). The Bill of Rights and the 2nd amendment was meant to be a restraint on the government.

2). Intergalactic Background Checks or Registration means putting the government in control of the 2nd amendment - in essence having the government in control of it’s own constraints.

3). This is akin to the inmates of a prison possessing the keys - It doesn’t make any sense.

Anyone want to wager how long it’ll be that we’ll start to see ‘breakdowns’ in the whole system... on weekends.. etc....?
