I'm so glad we have chuck schumer to protect us from these evil philistines

I'm so lost... What are we talking about again?

Are you sure about that? I was under the impression that NICS has "x" number of hours to issue a proceed or deny. If they don't, the sale may legally proceed?

It's three days:

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 allows three business days to obtain this information before a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) can transfer a firearm. The FFL is not prohibited from transferring the firearm after three business days have passed; however, the FFL is not required to transfer the firearm.

...but that's three days from the initiation of the NICS check. It's not entirely clear what happens if you can't initiate the NICS check...

It doesn't matter if you're running it in the US or not--just ask Kim Dotcom. He was running MegaUpload in New Zealand, but they still went and got his servers, plus they had the Kiwi authorities throw him in the pokey.

Also see "extraordinary rendition."

I'll ask him next time I see him.

As much as I harass them about being druggies I know most of them are not. They are just crying because the evil government tells them no, and because Ron Paul tells them that they should.

I don't judge. Pot is probably safer than alcohol.

6 of one, half dozen of the other from what I have seen. Both turn otherwise normal people into complete idiots. "Here hold my beer (or joint) and watch this."

I've just never seen an angry pothead, but I've laid out a few angry drunks (and had my drunk ass laid out a couple of times).

I say "OK" and get the camera rolling.
