| 4 hours 28 mins wait on a background check to pick up a pistol... Seriously WTF, I think the longest I ever waited before this craziness was 20 mins. I Stumbled across a gold cup trophy for sweet buy, thought I'd be in and out of there while the wife was Xmas shopping. No such luck. |

I know that on Black Friday I had to wait just under 4 hours. On that day according to reports there were 155,000 guns sold that day. I know it's been 2-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours or so for a background check just about every day from about 12/12-12/24. I'd love to know just how many guns sold in that time period. Even if it was half as many guns being sold as on Black Friday the total number of guns sold for that slightly-less-than-two week period would be just under one million. I wonder how many voters thtat equals?

256,963 background checks done in Oregon from 1/1/12 to 12/30/12 at 10:11 AM. As an aside, that means over $2mil was collected in background check fees (most are $10, some are $5) this year. OSP wants an increase to $30+ per check, which would equate to over $6mil per year.
Last year, the Oregon online background check system worked pretty well, even on busy gun show weekends. Now, for some unknown reason, 90+% of online background checks are requiring human review. I even had on customer that bought a firearm and their online check came back instantly as approved. They later bought another firearm later the same day and the background check required human review. Doesn't make any sense. The best solution is to revive HB2791 (http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2700.dir/hb2791.intro.pdf), which removes OSP from the background check process, allowing dealers to use the far more responsive NICS system that is free. |
Every body keeps saying it is taking over an hour. I've bought several guns lately, every time they enter my info and I get approved INSTANTLY!!!!! They say "you must be one of the lucky ones" and I joke "they know me up there"
So it doesn't really make sence to me is what I'm saying. The day of the newtown shooting, IIRC, the pawn shop told me it was "delay friday" he had a stack of guns laying on top of their 4473s that were all delayed. |

This. Please. But its the Oregon way. Why use a free federal program that is already in place when Oregon can set up their own process and charge for it. |

Here we go.
ABC News is reporting just under 2,784,000 NICS background checks for the month of December, which does not include the 155k mentioned earlier as that was in November. And it's worth it to point out that you can buy multiple guns with one background check, so that doesn't necessarily equate to a 1:1 ratio. It's also nice to see that the number of NICS checks since 1998 is over 160 million. |

It was up on Drudge earlier today but I can't find the link now. Nationally here was a 49% increase in background checks
done for the month of December. Georgia was in 1st place with a 66.3 % increase followed by OREGON with a 61.1% increase. WE'RE #2! WE'RE #2!!!

I read the same report, and from what I understood, that was a 49% increase over the December 2011 numbers. Based on my own experience of the people I know who participated in the panic buying, a lot of that was self-described liberals and independents who up to this point had not exercised their 2nd Amendment rights. Many were Obama voters who now fear they may not be able to buy a gun after the next 90 days. |

To put those NICS numbers since 1998 in perspective, there were reportedly a little more than 120 million voters in the 2012 presidential election. |
