Sooooooooo....what about the promise made to Americans that these records would in fact be immediately destroyed after the background checks? THAT was the compromise to mollify folks who worried that the records might later be used against citizens by the federal government later on, right?

Goes to show that these sorts of "promises" are worthless.
