So can anybody just gather ownership information? I thought gun purchase records were destroyed shortly after FBI approval. Are gunstore owners being pressured to supply sales records? This sounds like backdoor gun registration Ad Hoc.

Federal records of the check are destroyed, though Reno didn't do it. Dealers are required to keep the sales records, and to allow inspection. It's a defacto registration, but not one that's easy to abuse. State registration of gunowners has much more potential for that. Hunting licenses too.

I thought gun purchase records were destroyed shortly after FBI approval. Nope, the ATF audits the sellers. Gotta keep them records.

If a gun dealer goes out of business, the 4473 forms are stored in an ATF warehouse, he said.

Nope, no registry being made here. Please move along.
