Madam Chairman. this bill says America will spend $100 million a yearthis year and again next year. and the year after that. and so on. until every State has a vast new network of computerized criminal records. accessible at computer terminals at every gun store. gun show. sporting goods stores. and everyplace else that sells firearms. It is time to ask. will this system work? Will it be worth these untold billions of dollars? It is silly to spend taxpayers money on a system that can easily be defeated. It can be thwarted the same way that teenagers get around the alcohol laws. illegal aliens get forged documents. and others disguise their identity. It is called false ID. It does no good to run a criminal check on John Jones. when the person buying a gun is really Sam Smith.
