    Well, they actually do enforce some but some are enforced by federal agencies (namely the BATFE) often with assistance from the local PD. The failure to report to NICs is probably “because paperwork is boring,” seeing as that’s what reporting to NICs entails.

      Or is it because the NRA has infiltrated police departments across the country and they know that if they don’t enforce the laws, it will be easier for people to get guns?
