Looks like this U-PIN system is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Get fingerprinted and pay a fee and they don't destroy your information afterward? Sounds like a slippery slope here.
I have the last name Smith and I have never had a problem. And I don't even put down my social security number on the form. For me, I would have to be waiting a very very very long time to purchase to desire giving my fingerprints to the FBI.
For those of us that get a delay that lasts a week or more with every purchase attempt, there are only2 things we can do, we can eitherwait and not be able to buy "Right here, Right Now" or jump we are forced to jump through the hoops that this country allowed Sarah Brady and mentally-disturbed followers to put in place.
Since you have never had a delay, I do not think you have a clue how irritating it actuallyis.
Imagine not being able to purchase at a gun show from a dealer from out of town? You find a great deal, or a rare gun you wanted, you fill out the paperwork, you get delayed, you either need to travel several hours a week or more later, or pay FFL transfer & shipping fees to get it to you, which wipes out any savings you thought you had by purchasing through that dealer.
All the U-PIN does is keeps a "He is ok to purchase" flag in their research system permanently, as opposed to them taking several weeks to find the same information out after days of waiting.
