I must have missed this, because I can't believe it would have been left out of the pleadings:

The NICS is hooked up to the federal database, is it not? What is the point of engaging two FFLs in two transactions when one can effectively conduct the sale, the NICS and the transfer?

Since this technology is accessible to everyone now, (and notably didn't exist in it's present ubiquity when these interstate commerce in arms laws came into being) doesn't this requirement now fail even a rational basis test?
