Lautenberg, D-N.J., proposed legislation Wednesday that would give police more time to check the backgrounds of prospective gun buyers when the nation’s security level is “elevated,” as it has been for the past 13 months.

Well, we already restrict other amendments in the name of security. What’s one more? [I wish there were HTML sarcasm tags].

The potential problem of refusing to sell guns by claiming the background checks are held up is very likely and easily abused. Looks like the Democrats are preying on fears as well.
