Longhurst plans to remove NICS requirement to sell after 3 days.

Received a orange post card from the NRA today asking me to contact Senator Nicole Poore about HB325. So I typed up a nice email to her giving her a great example of how great NJ's 30-day waiting period is with the example from last year's stabbing of Carol Bowne in Berlin, NJ.

I doubt I'll hear back from her. Never do.

I expect to see her Friday at the Civic Association meeting. I'll bring the card, and bring it up.

something i thought about today...since the federal form is only good for 30days..now you delay for 30 days....how do i transfer the firearm?
who will be monitoring this program if it passes...Inspectors? more tax money to hire? get state police back into the gun business???

Ok, so I appealed my delay back in the middle of March, and got a response letter today from the US DOJ, it says:

"This letter is in response to your inquiry concerning your transaction to possess or receive a firearm.  Please be advised that your firearm transfer was not denied, but merely delayed due to a potential match of a possible disqualifying record.  Your inquiry has been forwarded for further processing.  The FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division's NICS Section is currently processing cases received in June 2015."


I guessed I am being processed, I'll keep everyone in the loop as I get more information.

So what did she say?

I doubt I changed her mind, but she was definitely shocked when I showed her a New York Times article that said "Nearly 80,000 Americans were denied guns in 2010, according to Justice Department data, because they lied or provided inaccurate information about their criminal histories on background-check forms. Yet only 44 of those people were charged with a crime."

My point was that her law would have no effect on the criminals in Wilmington, because they don't go to gun shops and fill out 4473's; it only affect people like me and her, which is a violation of our rights. I told her about being "held" at Christmastime for my common name... not because I was suddenly a criminal, but because the system was understaffed.

She seemed to get the point, but I doubt it will change her vote.

OGG-I applaud your face to face effort. Sometimes using the personal touch is more effective than electronic conversation (he said as he typed out his reply on his phone). Who knows, you might sway her to the 2A side.

I worked with Nicole for about a year or so in the private sector before she became a Delaware State Senator and she is a very intelligent and driven individual. Showing her the facts probably did enlighten her and made her consider how she will vote. As you said, whether it sways her is another story.

Just finished writing to all the Senators. I hope it helps. Thanks greymas for the DSSA link with all the Senators email and DSSA stance. Thanks to Federal Firearms for the explanation and reasons for delays as it really helped me compose my letters.

[seniorgeek]

I sent email to all the listed people on the committee. I hope each email gets there attention. At least they know how I feel.

[Radnor]

Dont know if it's good news or not.  But I did NOT see it listed in the minutes from their meeting.
Assuming it is still in committee.

[greymas]

Thanks for the update Radnor. I haven't heard back from anyone I sent an email to. I'll keep the pressure on them until I do, respectfully of course
