The PREVIOUS AG, Janet "The Torch" Reno, decided that Justice could hold those records for 90 days. They tried for longer, but given that the law says "immediately," 90 days was the best they could legally do.
AG Ashcroft announced (and got LOTS of flak over it) that he was going to direct Justice to delete the records within 48 hours, based on HIS interpretation of "immediately." That hasn't actually happened yet (things can take a while in such a huge bureaucracy), but it should be in effect in a month or two, according to the media. Of course, the Bradys and folks are furious... -Troy |

Thanks for the answer.So since the records are not destroyed yet, can they legally be used?or they have to find another way to find out about the gun purchases?

Let's see... How many people were prosocuted for failing an "Instand Check" less than 10 if I recall correctly. And that's when Reno was AG. A real success story there.

No, they can't be legally used right now, and won't be. Of course, our good friend Chuck Schumer has introduced a bill to allow those records to be used for such investigations, though when he was pushing for the original NICS bill, he assured everyone that they would never be used that way.
