The Senate has threatened to cut the ATF's budget, I think, if they didn't stop trying to create a national database. Only thing is, they already have one.
Start buying guns that scare people, like Class III stuff, and see if you bank tags you. Also, when you put in for a Tax Stamp, they keep those records with probably big red stickers.
Get used to it, or fight it by trying to get your Senator off his butt and doing what he was elected to do.
Take care,
Reed
