If it is time to bury them then it is time to use them.

This isn’t because anyone is worried about new gun laws...

Every gun you purchase is registered with the fed gov.

Wherever did you get this idea? It may be so for some guns in some states, but not all guns in all states.

“Every gun you purchase is registered with the fed gov.”

Not true. I’m an FFL in Colorado and when I transmit an Instacheck request to the CBI, no specific firearm information is included. Just whether handguns, long guns, or both are at issue.

Yes, all FFL’s keep paper 4423’s regarding the firearm specifics, but those are in our possession and, in general, no law enforcement can look at these except for very specific reasons and for specific records.

Eventually, these 4423’s are supposed to be sent to the Feds when the FFL’s business terminates, but (for what it’s worth) Federal law prohibits these records from being computerized in any fashion, and no funds are allowed to be spent for that purpose.

The only Federal registry for firearms is for NFA weapons and devices, namely transferable automatic weapons, suppressors, and other legally possessive destructive devices.

If you feel that it’s time to bury them it’s also the time to have them in your hand.

Even the KGB had that kind of bad luck, per “The Sword And The Shield”.

I would also note that an Instacheck action doesn’t necessarily mean that the transaction was completed. It only means that the given transaction was given the green light to be completed. And that approval is only good for a limited amount of time...maybe 90 days?

Several years ago I had a situation where I had to go through the background check twice on the same firearm. I purchased something from a custom builder, and he ran into problems while doing final testing and it took several months for him to iron out all the bugs. In the meantime the time for the background check had expired and I had to go through the rigamarole all over again.

That was over at the FALFiles. I used to post over there.

I almost guessed that; I used to post there too (still got my WECSOG diploma tacked above my workbench). It's still an informative site, branching out to reach more viewers.

The thread I mentioned must've been ten years ago now. I guess the lesson stuck.

A good reason to only pay cash for firearms and ammunition purposes. While the law technically prohibits access, without a court order of course, to certain purchase data; it would likely be easier to data mine the credit card industry for purchases at gun stores, or other identified sites.

Good question. I asked the Colorado CBI/Instacheck folks that question one time and they threw out 30 days. I could hear the mental shrug in their voice like they didn’t really know but thought 30 days sounded about right.

Also, I meant to add in my original post that after an Instacheck is complete, it’s against the federal law for any agency to keep any record of an approved request past 48 hours.

1st thing the Cuban Commander(think he was a Cuban) told his guys was to go to the sporting goods store and get the list of all who purchased weapons and go round them up.

I work with Obama voters who brag about their "untraceable" guns and what they will do if someone tries to confiscate them. I ask them how reluctant the person who sold them the gun will be to tell the Feds who they sold it to when they come knocking.

Total. Disconnect. From. Reality.

When i was in the CG in Miami I used to sit on the beach on my days off and watch the old codgers with their metal detectors. I took a few packs of BB’s with me one day and got there b4 them and sprinkled them all over the place. What a hoot the BB’s would fall through the strainers they used and it would drive them nuts.

Wow, you are a jerk. That is not funny.

Cleaned once a week, loaded and racked next to the door that anyone would come to first. That is where a firearm belongs.

"What single gun would you advise purchasing during the next 4 (perhaps more) Obama years. Consider that All of us small business owners are driven out of business, We have fallen off the fiscal cliff. Greece and the UN can’t bail us out, Entitlement payments are stopped and gangs of roving liberals(led by feminazis) are looking for handouts?"

Either an AK or AR rifle variation, minimum 15 magazines, and 10,000 rounds of ammunition.
