Or much longer -- unless they need the data right now, then you would probably be surprised.
Thats nice. I'm sure there will be a bunch of people in Martinsburg and Clarksburg happy to know they can go home now.
Tell that to any major financial institution, data broker, or stock order house. They don't OCR hundreds of thousands of complex documents per day. Nope. Not at all.
What you can play with at the local best buy has nothing on what tens and hundreds of millions of dollars of dedicated resources and development can make happen. When real money is on the line radical things happen quickly.

You asked and I was simply stating what I was basing my opinion on. Fact is they still do not have most of the forms and there are much easier ways to find out who has firearms. The idea that they go this route to figure out who has what firearms is ludicrous. It would be much more efficient and cost effective to simply offer a reward for information.
