Accept.
And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)
And it continues...
And there is more...
And more...
And yet more...
And more and more and...
We just keep buyin' more...
And we bought more more more...
And more and more and more...
Could it be? More?
More Americans buy more guns...
We just love guns...
Buy a gun, you'll be in Hogg Heaven!
Another month, another record!
Will the record breaking ever stop?
KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, DEMOCRATS! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)
"Except????"
Why the problem with it? I've bought several weapons and the "check" has taken about 5 minutes average time for them to get the "Everything's Hunky-Dory" signal. My daughter was born in Italy (where I was stationed at the time) and Haig "Blessed her as a US Citizen" and she has foreign-issued birth certificate...her check took about 35 minutes because the "system" was maybe confused... I think the check only looks for "flagged" incidents/info which are only there if one has some sort of record/history...
