NEVADAS NEW GUN BACKGROUND CHECK LAW ENDS BEFORE IT BEGINS

[Straw Man]

9. NY's "SAFE" Act hit a similar snag.

The drafters thought they could use the Federal NICS systems to do their newly-mandated background checks for ammo purchases. The Feds said, "Umm ... we're plenty busy enough as it is without taking on the burden of enforcing a STATE law."

However, the law remains on the books in NY, causing most online ammo retailers to have suspended all sales into the state, or at the very least to insist on shipping only to a federally licensed firearms dealer, who will then charge the buyer a fee for performing ... absolutely nothing. No paperwork, no background check, no nothing. Where else can you get paid $35 + tax to sign for a FedEx package?
