Fun fact
They have a registry. The ATF records all back ground checks, and ends up getting copies of most, if not all 4473.
Then they track what you buy, and where. So when you get dies, loaded rounds, or other items, the banks, CC companies, and other firms report them to the State.
They (.gov) know what you have, how often you shoot, and where you go to shoot.
And that does concern them.
PATRIOT ACT FORCE A 2ND BACKGROUND CHECK. At least I didn’t have to pay for it like I did the 1st in 1998. Tennessee is now Permitless to carry, you still need a background check to buy the guns. And fill out paperwork. I bought 2 this past year, a new revolver for my carry weapon, and a AR15. Delivery on my third batch of ammo was delayed yesterday, it best show up today, FedX had a problem.
