“We must overturn the ill-conceived law mandating destruction of this data so we can successfully combat gun violence and terrorism in America.”
Oh yes. It’s common knowledge that all terrorists obtain their weapons lawfully with a comprehensive audit trail.
We’ll be able to track them better now.
Just say no! No you cannot have my firearms and be willing to stand your grfound. There will be no victory if you’re afraid of the battle.
The NICS system could easily be combined with NFR (National Firearms Registry) almost over night. First they need to expand the storage capacity from 24 hours to 180 days to permanent. Then they need to collect the data on both the transferee and firearm on any firearm leaving the FFLs premises (sales, pawn, consignment and repairs). Then they need to subject all firearm transfers, including those between individuals, to the NICS check. Then make the possession of firearms subject to the NICS check. Then change the name from NICS to NFR and there you have it; in place and ready for the next step.
The NRA does great work but is sometimes deaf to political philosophy. They support candidates on gun rights alone, which ended up as supporting Howard Dean in VT because of the gun laws in that state. The NRA should never support any, ANY, Democrat because that support turns into party politics, which produces bills like this.

Another attempt by the Liberal wingnut DhimmiRats to circumvent the language and intent of the Second Amendment.
Time to write the congress critters, again...and, again...and, again.
These folks need to wake up to the reality that the criminal types don’t give a whip about this garbage. This type of legislation serves only to put additional, illegal, needless constraints on the law abiding folks in the US.
It’s all in the tagline...
In the interest of equal time, the publishing of this database makes it simple to publish a list of gun NON-buyers....
...which will include a lot of criminals, and those the criminals want to safely rob.
Buy a gun and stay on the legal buyer list! ;^)
Great, my Congresscritter sponsored it.
Don't underestimate McCain's potential to trip an automatic ambush from his own rhetoric. It's more than likely that McCain planted it in the first place.

From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Even Lautenberg admits that the law requires the records to be destroyed after the transfer is approved. He no doubt voted for the Brady Bill which is the law that requires the NICS check and destruction of the record. The Clinton administration was in violation of the law by NOT destroying the records immediately. But then again the Clinton's have always been above the law.
I won’t be voting for Mr. Levin this fall. I never voted for him in the first place.
