Midnight snack: maybe they're just Arabs who married American women and want to protect themselves from folks who lump them all into one category.

Breakfast treat: wake up and smell the coffee. I was talking about THOSE ARABS who married American women just to get citizenship. Period. Not about other Arabs who are innocent, but of those who did just what I said, and there are some who did just that, no matter how much some of us want to believe that there are no such people amongst us.

It's been 3 years, and I don't know his exact route. His story was part of the fireside chat we had at Mongo's house. But I drove right past Chicago to get to the tollways, I'm assuming that if he went from Texas up to Illinois, he was catching the same tollways.

I'm trying to read through what You are saying (I'm no where close to a lawyer)what I'm understanding is that States have powers that the feds don't and that this bill is probably a formality, especially with the NSA.

My question is how far we're willing to go to discern between the two.

I may decide to sue them...who knows.

Hmm, gun owners in a class action against the powers that be. You just might get a little support for that... ;-)

Here's an excerpt from National Instant Criminal Background Check System Regulation:

The NICS Audit Log will contain information relating to each NICS background check requested by FFLs and POCs. By auditing the system, the FBI can identify instances in which the NICS is used for unauthorized purposes, such as running checks of people other than the actual gun transferees, and protect against the invasions of privacy that would result from such misuse. Audits can also determine whether potential handgun purchasers or FFLs have stolen the identity of innocent and unsuspecting individuals or otherwise submitted false identification information. The Audit Log will also allow the FBI to perform quality control checks on the system's operation by reviewing the accuracy of the responses given by the NICS record examiners to gun dealers.

You're right, they get away with this crapola because nobody call them on it. I know of a few instances here where local law enforcement started tacking fees on to applications for permits and adding their own provisions to the applications - both of which were remedied by somebody taking the authority to task. Somebody HAS to remind these people what the law is.

I'm no lawyer, either, but information about CAGE and the legal actions taken to challenge the legality of what they are doing is findable on the Web (I've seen articles online.)

I didn't bookmark it, though.
