According to the guy who owns the local gun store, I talked to him today, before the San Bernardino shooting, most background checks were taking 10-15 minutes. Since then 2-3 days. Some are going through the three day period and then you can buy the gun anyway. That's the longest they can make you wait.

Your information is wrong. If you can call that "information". Unless you add that on to the ten day wait "BS".
A state POC search includes the three federal databases, and may include the state’s independent criminal history database and mental health records.[SIZE=2]8[/SIZE]
Once the initial search is complete, the FBI or POC notifies the FFL that the sale: 1) may proceed; 2) may not proceed; or 3) is delayed pending further investigation. If the transaction may proceed, NICS provides the dealer with a unique identification number which the FFL must record on Form 4473.[SIZE=2]9[/SIZE] After recording the unique identification number provided by NICS, the dealer records certain information about the firearm to be transferred, including the manufacturer, type, model, caliber or gauge and serial number.[SIZE=2]10[/SIZE] The dealer is required to retain Form 4473, regardless of whether the transaction is approved or denied or whether the firearm is actually transferred.[SIZE=2]11[/SIZE]
The NICS check is valid for a single transaction for up to 30 calendar days from the date NICS was initially contacted.[SIZE=2]12[/SIZE] The 30-day period covers only a single transaction as reflected on Form 4473. The transaction may, however, involve the transfer of multiple firearms.
"""If the FFL has not been notified within three business days that the sale would violate federal or state laws, the sale may proceed by default."""[SIZE=2]13[/SIZE]

The very government, that the 2nd Amendment targets. Tells you you MUST WAIT to get your god given right back, to protect yourself from them.
We may have given the government the ability to raise an army, but we never said they the government could keep and bear arms themselves. Only the people raised, would be able to keep & bear arms.

The founding fathers knew from experience, an armed government, would become tyrannical and oppressive. Thus it was the people that were to be armed and the government raise an army as needed, from the armed people.
And then, the army could only be commissioned for 2 years.
