There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.

background check clarification[edit]

Can we get some clarity on "states that require background checks" vs states that don't? Pretty sure the background check for purchasing from an FFL is run federally through NICS using the Form 4473 in all 50 states. Is this referring to the level of scrutiny for concealed carry permits or something else? Because it doesn't align with reality when taken to be about purchasing a firearm.

Our source's source for that claim is a broken link. It's now hard to assess what exactly they meant. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 16:13, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
