And how will the range be checking them without telling the federales their names? (Actually there is a way this could be done if we really need a NICS system, but they won’t do it)
They check my name every time I buy a gun. I have no objection to changing the way it’s done to make it less obtrusive. Like I’ve said in my earlier posts, if they were going to do a background check on people who rent guns, they WOULD have to change the way they do them, because you can’t get an instant check under the current system.
My point here is that the whole thread is premised upon the notion that a felon ought not be subject to a background check, and a lot of posters seem to be standing up for the right of a felon to rent a gun without being subjected to a background check. That is just plain crazy. And when they try to turn it around and say they are standing up for the right of law abiding sane people to rent a gun without a background check, they just look foolish. This can be done quickly, easily, with no violation of privacy. There is no legitimate reason that anyone has offered so far for why it should not be done.
Heck, as I stated before, the gun range itself was complaining that it could not do an instant background check. They don’t want to rent guns to nuts either.
