the NICS check is just a cover story.

If it would get the gun in my hands sooner, I'd take it. It'll match the Glock. ;)

David Hineline:
You can get a NICS special ID number assigned to you so that when a NICS check is done it will identify you, so that similar criminal names are no doubt.

Or you could have had them ship the rifle to a local shop or had a local shop order one for you.

The dealer held your glock hostage to keep from losing the deal, they do not have to log in guns they returned within one business day. Store policy not law.

It isn't a particular hassle, just unconstitutional.

I hear this sort of thing a lot with people, and it interests me...

Question:  Should convicted felons and mentally incompetent people be able to own/possess/carry firearms?

If your answer is "No" then you are saying that the "shall not be infringed" part of the 2nd amendment actually says "shall not be infringed except in special circumstances."

If you said "No" then by definition, there needs to be a way to check to make sure that said categories of people don't obtain firearms.  There are several methods to that---one is a government check, and the other (in Nebraska) is to obtain a permit (which is a fairly offensive term, really) to purchase firearms. 

They both do the same job.  For many people, the permit system in NE is less annoying than the gov phone call check. 

Either way, if you said that felons and mentally incompetent people shouldn't have guns, you are stuck with SOME method for said check.

Now, if you said "Yes" to the initial question, then all of the above has nothing to do with you.  That being said, however, that isn't the situation in which we currently live, nor will you be able to obtain support from ANY governing body attempting to make it so.  Feel free to try, but it won't work.

So---if you did say "No" to the original:  What about it is particularly unconstitutional?

(If you said "yes" then there isn't much to talk about.)
