See Dave K's post on page 3 of this thread for the facts and figures which show that 94.2% of the refusals in 2009 were false positives. He elaborates further on the number of refusals that resulted in actual convictions, and the extremely miniscule conviction rate over time.

Not discussed in the data is why it was necessary to collect information on the make, model, and serial numbers of guns that were sold to law abiding folks who passed the backround check. Unless the dealer is selling grenades, rocket launchers, sawed off shotguns, or other prohibited weapons, this is none of Barack Obama's business.

A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
