The Outdoor Wire has confirmed from confidential sources that the "transition team" for the Democratic candidate has already begun looking into the current approval system for firearms transactions. It seems the digital recordkeeping approval recently granted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) has piqued their curiosity. With a virtual Form 4473 in existence, we should be on the lookout for a new record-keeping initiative that will "simplify" the hassles of off-site digital record storage by allowing FFLs to, say, store the information on secure governmental servers. Of course, the government will never access the information.

No E-4473 in my shop then...

Egad...people...vote.
Silly prole...you think this will be 'voluntary'. How quaint.

Agreed. This will be done in the name of cost savings and convenience to everyone involved - and half of our people will be convinced that its no big deal. Watch.
Of course, if the Constitution won't slow these idiots down, a little thing like a mere Law won't even be noticed...
"What? They'll never want to take my O/U or my deer rifle."
"But no good sportsman needs a riot gun or a long-range sniper rifle!" /fudd
"Relax, Obama isn't going to take away anyone's shotgun."
Reassuring, no?
We manufacturers have some leverage. Never think that .Gov is all powerful. They gotta get their toys from somewhere...

Anyone remember Red Dawn?
Colonel Bella sends a Soviet soldier to ‘obtain files number 4473... a list of private gun ownership.”
Would love to hear John Milius’ take on Obama.
What I’m worried about is being made an instant criminal after some new ‘anti assault weapon’ ban is passed. Someone said once an ‘assault weapon’ is anything that looks scary to a Democrat.
I think my pistol-grip riot shotgun definitely fits that bill.
You think that's a problem? How compliant will your employees be after they see you dragged off in handcuffs and charged with multiple felonies?
Then they'll ask politely "Does anyone else object or would you all like to get back to work NOW?"

Here’s another gun related nugget of info:
Dan Cooper, Pres. of Cooper Firearms, is publicly backing Obama.

They get an awful lot of them from "gun friendly" Europe. FN's plant in NC is just a nicety...they'll be allowed to export for governmental contracts. They hold Winchester and USRA. Cerberus controls more US firearm interests than you can shake a stick at...that may be your only option...Remington, DPMS, Bushmaster. Have you noticed all of the buy-outs lately? CZ-USA bought Dan Wesson...it goes on.
And as an aside, firearms manufacturers must be licensed. Licensed by whom? You got it.
Ahhhhh, the benefits of private firearms transactions. No paper trails.
Question: My cousin waited too long to get his permit. Now there is no time before the election for him to do NRA training and get a permit using that. Is it legal for him to buy a pistol from a gun show without a permit?
