HR 1112 would expand the three-business-day window before a dealer can make a sale without a completed background check. The California DOJ last week submitted proposed "emergency" regulations to the state's Office of Administrative Law for ammunition background checks slated to begin on July 1. ILA is responsible for preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals in the legislative, political, and legal arenas, to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Yet these same people cannot be bothered to comprehend or hold themselves to the progressively ridiculous laws that they create and administer. If an individual’s information is not in the AFS, the person must undergo a “Basic Ammunition Eligibility Check,” which the California DOJ describes as “a comprehensive review of its records to determine the person’s eligibility to own or possess ammunition.” The fee for this check was $19. These individuals do not hesitate to impose ever more convoluted burdens on law-abiding gun owners or to punish well-meaning gun owners whose benign conduct falls just outside their byzantine regime. 2nd AmendmentPoliticsBackground ChecksFBIGun SalesSecond Amendment.

Keane said in an email, using the official acronym for the gun background check system. Panetta’s bill would allow the FBI to maintain the data for a gun background check in its systems until the check is complete. “The FBI must make these changes to its system in order to ensure that dangerous people don’t fall through the cracks and obtain firearms,” Nichols said. That would include notice that the FBI can retain their data until the background check is complete and information on how to submit additional records to expedite the process. The program has been a disaster. In other words, January 2020 witnessed more background checks than any January on record, February 2020 than any February on record, March 2020 than any March, and so forth. The National Rifle Association and California Rifle & Pistol Association have made the California Department of Justice Aware of this discrepancy. There are two types of “Ammunition Eligibility Checks” in California. In December, the Sacramento Bee reported that tens of thousands of law-abiding Californians have been improperly denied ammunition purchases under the program, while only 101 were prohibited persons who were rejected.

According to the report, “[b]etween July 1 and November, nearly one in every five ammunition purchases was rejected by the California Department of Justice.”. It’s impossible to know how many of those people purchased guns without a completed background check — or how many  purchases would have been blocked if the FBI had completed the background checks instead of purging them from its systems. The bureau later determined that Roof should have been blocked from purchasing a firearm because of a previous drug arrest. If the new bill gets out of the House, it would join two other gun-control measures advanced by the chamber that face stiff odds in the Republican-controlled Senate.
