The gun humpers are out in force pushing back on taking action on gun restrictions.

42. This is not

the big deal that everyone makes it out to be.
Government is prohibited from keeping the records, so they basically just make the FFL's keep it instead.
It takes a total of 2 phone calls to find out who sold a gun to whom. One call to the manufacturer with a serial number to find the FFL (all digital), then the next call to the FFL who has it all on file (and digital). And FFL are also required to keep all those paper records for 20 years.
But what good does any of that do? I suppose they want to check and make sure the firearm was obtained legally, and it it wasn't, there wouldn't be any records to find anyway. Beyond that, what does it even matter? The evil has already been done at that point. I try to make sense of things when I can, but this part right here eludes my understanding.
