NICS waiting period just expanded

It's gonna save so many lives

Can we expand the thread number for this from 3 to 30?
Yes it’s BS and I can’t see how this can be done since it’s a federal background check but the emperor does as he pleases.

I've never been denied (no criminal record and I have a weird last name so it's never been a problem). Having said that, it's just one more hoop that honest folks will have to jump through. All the John Smith's in NYS will now have to wait 30 days to get their guns.

It's a joke and really only serves as yet another way to stick it to the gun owner. The FBI is NOT going to continue their background check for thirty days. After three, they are done.

I am delayed every...single...time. I have no criminal record, tick none of the boxes that they will tell you about so I must have a name similar to someone else. For me, this means that I have gone from automatic 3 day to a 30 day wait, every time, which is absolute bullshit. I’ve applied for a uPIN number and have been told by my FLH that another customer in my situation did this with good results, but it took at least a year or more for the FBI to process it.

At this point I figure I have the duty to buy a many firearms as I can in the next 45 days, before this goes into effect!

I’ve had delayed checks get cleared much further out than 3 days, and I’m delayed every time. No denials, just delays. I think they do keep working on it. Good thing once they clear that transaction’s background check is good for 30 days.

Huh. So I wonder what they'd do if after the three days, you take your gun home but they then later find something and deny the transaction after the ffl has transferred the gun to you? Raid your house probably?

Nothing. That’s part of the problem. They are supposed to work to recover the firearm, but rarely do they even attempt it.

^^^This.

If memory serves there are some surprisingly high numbers of low hanging fruit like this that ATF simply doesn't bother to get off their ass and go do.

So what happens if you are denied while at the gun store? Do they call the cops? What happens?

I can ask my FiL what his shop's policy is but obviously at minimum- no sale.
