That's exactly what it is. Which is why a lot of small gun shops don't resist selling to an incomplete background check, but Wal-Mart will resist it. Wal-Mart isn't making a statement by selling guns, but pursuing profits. The gun shop does not exist simply to sell firearms, but to make a statement of support for firearms. They host safety classes, concealed carry classes, etc., and they participate in lobbying groups where Wal-Mart wouldn't. That's why for me changing the background check period to 30 days like in California is a mistake. It's an undue burden on the buyer and is a cost at his or her expense which simply keeps the state from improving their response time to requests.
