Jim, I have not always agreed with the NRA, but I always saw the NICS as
a symbol of their strength, not as a loss. Not many organizations can
force a compromise from a losing position, and the NRA managed to do so.

I would love to have the old days of fill out the yellow sheet and then
leave, with no wait and no background check, but it just wasn't going to
happen. The NICS is the best we could get, and I am glad the NRA worked
it out that way.

Thanks
Steve Rothstein
