Huh no shit TIL about that waiting period, thanks! I can't look it up until later (at work, can fire off a message but not do research y'know) but would you happen to know how long it lasted?

Though the questionnaires in the 60s were largely ineffective and took time, unless I am mistaken they were stored by the FBI until the ATF started existing in the early 70s, but yes "NICs" wasn't until "I" was possible as I mentioned.

How long it lasted?

Between '94 and '98, after they mandated the background checks but before they had the infrastructure to do instant background checks.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
