Couldn't get through to ATF on a phone line, or you got a "Delay"?

A new NICS system started today. Expect delays

E-check was down and we were waiting 30 minutes on the phone.
E-check seems to be working now.
It's the new & improved NICS E-check

Mine went through first try today, but I know early this afternoon was nothing but problems.

Guess they finally made it though later that afternoon. I was able to pick up my shotgun same day. Been buying guns for 14 years. Never been delayed.

I have been put on hold more often lately. Glad they are busy. We need more gun owners.

I got a delay on Saturday, and as of today "Tuesday" I still am showing delayed. I buy a lot of firearms and I have never been delayed before. Trying to call nics to find out what the deal is, however I cant even get through. And on another note, I tried to check status of my form 1 on the ATF website but that is down as well.. UNREAL

I get delayed every flippen time.

Here's a theory. The liberal anti gunners launched a cyber attack on the NICS computers to hold off the sale of guns to otherwise legal owners.

I'm ordering more tin foil ....... if I could just get through to the order desk......wait a minute
