NRA makes up lies about the Brady bill.

Taking credit for the current background checks, when they fought against them tooth and nail.

New NRA Lie: We Were Responsible For Creating The National Instant Criminal Background Check System

A video from National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre offered a false history of the passage of the 1993 Brady background check bill in order to attack President Obama's recently released executive actions on gun violence.

In the video, the NRA attempts to position itself as the heroic creator of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), when in reality the gun group fiercely fought the passage of the Brady bill and then later attempted to have the Supreme Court invalidate the entire law.

1. So on what tiny detail are they basing this particular lie?

Are they standing outside in the middle of a summer day in Los Angeles California and declaring it is dark outside?

I mean, are they simply lying with no detail to allege to being true?

2. Wikipedia says the NRA is correct

"After the Brady Act was originally proposed in 1987, the National Rifle Association (NRA) mobilized to defeat the legislation, spending millions of dollars in the process. While the bill eventually did pass in both chambers of the United States Congress, the NRA was able to win an important concession: the final version of the legislation provided that, in 1998, the five-day waiting period for handgun sales would be replaced by an instant computerized background check that involved no waiting periods.[18]"
