Fox45 news piece on background check delay and one store's response upcoming

 

[smokey]

did she say only 35 applications are completed a day?....I'm assuming that is per each officer....

 

[hdatontodo]

Some gun stores aren't willing to wait months

Frank Loane Sr, Pasadena Pawn & Pawn on TV
230 applications at the store
releasing to known buyers

Marylanders buying guns before Oct 1 in record numbers
57,000 since beginning of year
26,000 apps to process by MSP
Sgt Marc Black - we're doing our best to process the applications

35 apps processed per day (some thousands incoming per week)

"We're not going to sacrifice safety to speed up this process" - so they get released on day 8 anyway. Not that I'm complaining , but the MSP argument makes no sense.

Preaching to the choir, I know!

 

[Wendigo]

35 apps per day has got to be a typo, right? There's no way they have 17-29 officers working on checks on any given day and only getting 35 done each day. There's something very wrong going on.

 

[Sean415]

Maybe 35 per officer per day?

 

[smokey]

what about sacrificing the safety of the person waiting on their means of self defense?

haha it would have made a better screen shot to post up the thousands of pending application packets and the wallSSSS of sold guns at basspro in the gun room. It's mind-boggling.

Didn't you hear? The Constitution doesn't mean anything anymore! You don't have a right to a gun, just the privilege to receive it whenever the overlords decide to grant your request.

 

[L0gic]

I'm not in their broadcast area, so are they talking secondary review, 35 apps per officer since we know civies to the initial checks?

I'd hope civies are doing a lot more than 35 per person per day. Unless that is all they are 'allowed' to do.

Maybe it's supposed to be 350 a day, which would explain them losing a day a week. Plus if there are 26,000 apps, there's your 75 day wait.

Such a joke... just use the instant check system!!! why is it so hard... oh. right. they are "trying their bestest" be nice guys

Maybe we should send some donuts.

Maybe we should send some donuts.

It should take one week to clear a box of a dozen. You will be required to submit a new application due to it being "ineligible". (AKA jelly donut smear)

 

[hdatontodo]

It will be illegal to put more than 10 donuts in a box that can hold a dozen.

 

[Coretac]

35 sent to review , so they can go shopping on Amazon or Ebay . what a f&^%$*^ joke ! I bet if I had there car for 100 days doing service on it , they would be a little pissed ... Yes I am an auto tech.

Seriously who NEEDS that many DONUTS! Donuts make you obese just looking at them! Pure... Evil...

 

[ShallNotInfringe]

Maybe we should send some donuts.

And tell them the jelly ones will be banned after 10/1 and the glazed ones will require a license.

Bet they'd be scooping them up.

Seriously, based on what I heard earlier tonight, we should take up a collection and get them some air conditioning units down there. I hear they don't have any. We think it's bad now...

"We're not going to sacrifice safety to speed up this process", "but we will certainly sacrifice the Bill of Rights, which comes way behind our own concept of safety".

This is all just so absolutely preposterous, a judge needs to smack these delays down and needs to force the MSP, on an emergency basis, to run just the NICS check, or better yet, release the MSP as the point of contact for the NICS # for regulated firearms and let dealers run the NICS for those until the wait is reduced again to 7 days. What is happening is so absurd--bringing 60 different gun shops to their operating capacity, denying the rights of several thousand Americans--, that I even cannot understand why a judge hasn't smacked this chaos down yet.
