Colorado uses InstaCheck, which catches people between their arrest and conviction. The program can also prevent people with restraining orders against them from purchasing firearms.
“Without InstaCheck, a wife beater, a stalker or someone who’s about to go to court or who wants to stop a witness against him, these, I’ll call them thugs, could buy a gun anywhere, anytime,” Boyd, a Lakewood Democrat, said.
Boyd says the InstaCheck system can protect victims of domestic violence and witnesses in crimes.
How does the system know they will be convicted?

Make murder more illegaler…
“Thugs” interested in witness murder are bound to not buy a new gun now it has a specific bill to deter it.

Isn’t someone under indictment or facing domestic abuse charges already prohibited under Federal law from buying a gun until the case is resolved?
More illegaler indeed.

InstaCheck utilizes magic mind reading rays to read the minds of both the accused person and the 12 members that make up their jury (even if the jury hasn’t been selected yet).
On the plus side, it only hurts for a while…or something.
