This demonstrates one thing: that when gun owners opposed the Insta-check system because they said it would be abused just like this . . . they were right, and not just being paranoid. With this sort of information lying around, it becomes irresistable for law enforcement not to want to take a peek.

Vindication for the NRA.


I gotta say, I'm surprised that Ashcroft said he wanted to release the info, but that it took his aides to tell him no. It's a bit disappointing to me that he would even consider releasing it. He was in the Senate when this law went through; he knows that the pro-gun control people were promising over and over again that the info would never be used for any other purposes.
