It's Still a Prior Damn Restraint

 The Gun Owner Privacy Act protects the right to keep and bear arms by preventing the Feds from collecting data to monitor and log gun ownership in America. This legislation will give Americans legal recourse and the ability to sue the Feds and collect damages for records illegally stored. [More]

We weren't promised that with NICS?

And that brings up another point: The grabbers have for years been trying to push through a "Background Check Completion Act" that would eliminate the requirement to allow the transfer to proceed after three days of dithering. That means a "delay" could be indefinite, without triggering the appeal process.

Those who would tell us a deal with the devil is the only way forward always act shocked, shocked when the deal is "altered."

As for Rep. Greene, good for her but pardon my cynicism at her being able to actually get anything done with her own party treating her as toxic. 

And, of course, as long as the argument is about how to dress up a prior restraint, you'll note nobody but nobody, be it "staunch defender of the Second Amendment" politicians or rice bowl gun groups, is bringing up the one system that would make data collection impossible.
