When a prospective buyer takes a gun to the register at a gun shop. the dealer uses a tollfree telephone number to call the State police. A State police worker types the persons name and Social Security number into a computer. and based on the information included then gives approval or disapproval for the purchase. Individuals who have been convicted of a felony. illegal Immigrants and fugitives from justice are denied the right to purchase a handgun. Surely. if we can establish a creditcheck system thioughout all 50 States for retail merchants to instantly check the credit standing of individuals using Visa. Mastercard. and other credit cards. we ought to be able to set up a uniform national system to check the criminal records of Individuals wanting to purchase a handgun. I support the need for a national system. to prevent conflicting State laws from hampering police efforts to track illegal gun sales.
