No one is searched, so your argument's empty.
Empty logic. -- You admit the database is searched to see if the individual is a "prohibited person".
Pratt:
"why are we violating the Constitution which gives no authority to the federal government to regulate guns?"
the Constitution gives Congress the express authority to regulate interstate commerce.
No, -- it says Congress can regulate commerce, " among the several States", -- not among the people within the States. -- And "to regulate" does not authorize prohibitions.
Commerce is all inclusive and there's no exclusions, such as the gun market given.
Thank you Sarah, for your unsupported opinion.
A background check involves limiting the commerce to those with the right to do so, and excluding those that have forfeited their right to do so. There's no problem with Constitutionality.
Depriving persons of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; -- always raises "problems with Constitutionality"
You've simply 'bought into' the authoritarian gov't view that gun rights can be infringed by so-called 'reasonable regulations'
LOL!
"Thank you Sarah, for your unsupported opinion."
Have a nice life.
