Anyone know if you are not a designated collector, how many banned firearms can you buy by midnight September 30th?
NICS is still fairly instant. This is all MSP delay.
And I agree with the OP, the math doesn't make sense. There was an huge lift in demand in November after the election, so they already had a month to staff up temporarily. A month later the top blew off. Since then, the MSP has had ALMOST FOUR MONTHS to staff up and not break Maryland's mandated 7-day regulation.
No excuse, except that they've been "disincentivized" to fix the problem.
This really isn't complicated. Here's how the math plays out from back when I went to school:
1. Their game.
2. Their rules.
3. Their sense of Zero accountability.
1 plus 2 plus 3 equals:
They flat out don't give a shit how long any of us wait.
Did I miss something? I thought you had to take ownership of the firearm before october 1? So now you just need to have the paperwork in?
The law says purchase order. Does that really mean the FFL has to have it? Doesn't sound that way to me.
Even before the explosion this seems like a ridiculous system, instead of accessing 17 different databases why not create an 18th database that all others feed into for the sole purpose of doing background checks.
That's the way I read it. As long as you have verifiable purchase order with the vender before 10/1, then you should okay even if it gets shipped to the FFL past 10/1. Anyone else want to chime in on this topic?
I've wondered this. Everyone has a ssn. Why isn't there a database based off ssn with a few columns that have check marks in them? For example: if you are on a no fly list there is a check mark in that column. Simple and highly effective. They should work smarter, not harder.
One of my old Computer Science teachers used to say "If I have to enter the same thing more than twice your code sucks."
