Now when you tell them they have a three-day wait, some of them don t even want to hassle with that, but the majority wait for the process to go through. But they re not happy about it. A number of dealers reported that they estimated losses of several hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. One dealer reported that he had heard that the chain stores were losing thousands of gun sales each day and that independent shops were losing an average of 40 sales a day. Adkins also said that some of the dealers in states that run checks through state agencies were having delays, probably because long guns are being checked now, meaning more checks.
Delays can be long, sometimes up to a whole day, and in some cases, a couple of days.
The financial impact of the check is not the most important long-term aspect of the system. If it looks like a duck . Unfortunately, that is not what the Federal Government is doing. Clearly, the Attorney General and the Justice Department are in violation of that law. Nice talk from a guy who has let all those vicious characters walk, because Brady has never been used to apprehend criminals, only to turn them aside.
