[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2050383, member: 4235"] Correct mons meg, the current GFSZA has never been reviewed by the Supreme Court. They declared the old one unconstitutional in the mid 90s. Congress made token changes (stating that it only applied to guns that have moved in interstate commerce) and re-passed it. The problem is, the first time it was reviewed, the government made that very same argument about how all guns have moved in interstate commerce, and the Supreme Court's invalidation of that law was based on a decision that that rationale was too remote of a connection to Interstate Commerce. But then they go and make the Raich v. Gonzales decision, where they uphold a law based on an even more tenuous connection to IC (but that was a drug case, and the GOP-appointed justices have had a hard on for the war on drugs since the 60s). There's really no telling what they would do if the GFSZA were to be reviewed again. I agree with everything said about NICS checks being a precursor to registration. It creates a paper trail... and while it can't be used to create a database under current law, that can all be changed easily. We should be pushing to eliminate background checks on sales from FFL's too. Hell, we should be pushing to eliminate licensure of firearms dealers altogether. [/QUOTE]
