According to the letter of the Brady law, the NICS records are to be "immediately" destroyed once the check is complete. Of course, in the Krintong administration with his lackeys like Butch Reno at the controls, "immediate" was looking to be stretched to six months "for audit purposes". Truly, the gall of these statists is incredible.

Ashcroft, when he became AG, set department policy to ensure that this data was retained for no more than 24 hours, which of course set the gungrabbers into a frenzy. God forbid the law should be obeyed when it doesn't further their Nazi agenda. Then when 9-11 occurred, you had the usual suspects, Schumer and Kennedy, demanding that these files be held longer for additional checks, etc., etc. The alarm bells that this set off were from the unspoken admission by this demand that these records were indeed being held for far longer than the legal period. Gee, I'm so surprised.

Ashcroft said no to this, and again the socialists and their leftmedia lackeys had a shitfit, to which Ashcroft said that if the law was changed to legally permit this, then he would do it. Lo and behold, Chuck and Ted had a bill pushed to the floor within days. Current status of that is unknown.

As a computer guy by profession, my not so humble opinion is this: Every damn check that has gone through NICS has been archived. It's too fast, easy and cheap to do. In fact, I would surmise that multiple copies exist spread across several locations. If I was Chucky or Ted, that's what I'd have my lackeys doing. Know thy enemy. So if you've ever been processed by NICS, you are most definitely on the (officially nonexistant) list. Got all that for your book, Trav? $;-)

That's the story to date, as far as I know.

That's exactly how I see it as well. If and when Big Brother (or Big Sister) wants to find out who has bought what guns since Brady came in, archives will suddenly be "found" which had "accidentally" not been erased through a "bureaucratic snafu".

Never worship the government. Taht means never put yourself in a situation where the government one day would force you or others to worship it through enforcement examples. It is one thing to be taxed and sneaked on, it is another when the government is actively seeking worship. It is just as bad as someone seeking to worship the government.

Thanks for clarifying. I believe I have read where DC, Maryland, and Massachusetts (the usual suspects) are openly flaunting this provision.

I also remember when BB was passed that all of the lawmakers and collaborators insisted that it was only to keep criminals and folks fresh out of psycho wards from instantly buying a gun and they were most adamant that it was not for a database.

This aspect of BB is perhaps the most dangerous for the future.

Regards.
