Apologies in advance if this is a repeat...my search skills are awful with the site. I recently took delivery of a rifle and noticed on the ATF Form 4473/background check that the dealer puts in all the big details about the firearm (make, model, serial number, caliber). How is this NOT a gun registry? All the information the FBI needs is RIGHT THERE. Are we really to believe they're not keeping these records on who has what? (I understand they never see the transaction actually took place, but how many people *really* request a background check if they're not looking to make a purchase?) Why should we trust that the feds aren't tracking and maintaining this information? |

Gun Sales: Attached File Numbers don't make sense. These are may be all the closed dealer records since 1968 GCA. But that's still 17,049,347 records per year since 1968. |
