The Justice Department is taking the first steps toward carrying out President Obama’s executive actions on gun control.
Attorney General Eric Holder on Friday released three proposals to strengthen the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which was one of the 23 actions ordered by Obama last week to tackle gun violence.
The proposed regulations would give local law-enforcement agencies access to the gun-sale database that is maintained by the FBI. The rules would also preserve records of denied weapons sales indefinitely.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

What "gun-sale database?" I thought the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act prevented that, and its existence has always been denied!
(I always suspected that they have been building one for quite some time, I guess now they are emboldened to admit it!)
WTF?
There have been other laws adopted since then that specifically prohibit DOJ/FBI from any attempts to build these databases, but I guess none of that matters any longer. Iguess all of of those reports of the ATF going around copying 4473s weren't just rumors.
RIGHT'S RIGHT
