i'm curious as to this, i know people who always have to wait the 3 days, not sure if its to do with a common last name or what

Yep. Another biggie is people with the same name ie. if you are a Jr. Especially if they have committed some sort of crime. Back when I worked at a pawn shop I dealt with NICS a lot. I had one guy tell me he would delay people simply if he was really busy. Then if you get delayed once, typically you get delayed every time.
