How about both? It would give the authorities enough time to actually
do the check. It would also be nice if the authorities were allowed to
keep the records for decent period of time to make sure the dealers
are actually following the law. Right now, they're unable to keep them
for more than a short period, which most think is not adequate.

Surprise! So does the NRA! That's why NRA backed current laws that
require
background checks instead of just a two week wait to purchase.

Soft-headed religious kooks running the united methodist and other
churches
believe it sinful to punish criminals. They believe in turning the other
cheek. If a man rapes your wife, give him your daughter and yourself as
well! They have been 90% successful in eliminating government punishment.
Convicted criminals now live in comfortable cells with TV and exercise
equipment you can't afford. As a result, criminals now fear armed victims
far more than capture. So now these idiots lobby to disarm us in order to
protect those who prey on the weak. Preposterous? Go see how much money
they've given Sarah Brady and her anti-gun fronts - money paritioners
dropped into poor boxes to help the needy.
