The second amendment I strongly oppose would preempt all State and local gun purchase laws. including all waiting periods and licensing requirements. once a national instant check system goes into effect. This would mean that in my home State of Oregon. our existing 15day waiting period to screen purchasers using an automated fingerprint identification system would be overturned. Federal preemption would also prohibit State or local background checks designed to stop the sale of guns to noncriminals who are prohibited under Federal or State law from purchasing a gun. including drug addicts. illegal immigrants. persons with a history of mental illness. spouse abusers. and minors using false identification. Despite the oppositions concerns. I do not believe that this bill is an infringement on the second amendments right to bear arms.
