Really? Are you sure about that? If that's the case, how does the national NICS system know who has been convicted of STATE crimes? How does AFIS get routine access to State fingerprint databases?
The Federal government can not access certain databases without a court order, that's true. But those databases are TAX databases. Anything involving items of public record (like criminal convictions, addresses, et cetera) can be accessed by the Feds, just as they can be accessed by private citizens.
You HAVE heard of FOIA, haven't you?
