[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2085222, member: 18914"] Henschman - how is a background check itself a prior restraint? It is a check to see if you have a disqualifying condition - like being a certain category of criminal or an adjudicated mental defective but absent that is doesn't stop anything. Voting is also a right for qualified individuals (essentially adult citizens) but you may be required to show ID (an idea very popular on this site) proving residency, citizenship or voter registration. Why must gun purchases be totally exempt from a check for disqualifying conditions? I do think a purchase card or simply an annual update to the weapon license BGC - which would serve the dual purpose of being a purchase card might work. I also think a form of NICS available to private persons w/o going through an FFL and not requiring a retained 4473 might be good. I concur, however, that the danger is that any paperwork (or electronic records) generated might be retained or would make a very tempting target for a future "improvement" to the law. [/QUOTE]
