(849 posts)being that the current background check in place for many years requiring fbi nics clearance for firearms purchases
requires
Government issued photo ID with Date of Birth and a current address (not a PO Box)
Any hesitation for anyone purchasing a firearm should be unwarranted thinking some *new* restrictive method is in place is probably points to some paranoia.
The nics system works, it just lacks data ties for background checks involving mental problems, its biggest failing.
