Gun interests WANT criminals to have guns

231. How can you say such provably untrue things publicly and not expect someone will post the truth?

"Given that gun dealers are required to keep no records there is no accounting of what actual guns sales are or who they go to."


FFL holders are required to keep a registry of firearms sales in an ATF-approved Bound Book, or a computerized equivalent using ATF-approved software. Licensed dealers must also maintain file copies of Form 4473 or eForm 4473 "Firearms Transaction Record" documents, for a period of not less than 20 years after the date of sale or disposition. When retiring or otherwise relinquishing a license, these records are sent to the BATFE's Out-of-Business Records Center. Licensed collectors are not required to send their records to the BATFE when relinquishing their license. The ATF is allowed to inspect, as well as request a copy of the Form 4473 from the dealer during the course of a criminal investigation. In addition, the sale of two or more handguns to a person in a five business day period must be reported to ATF on Form 3310.4.

You should know this:

Even the most die hard anti-gunners on DU generally know that what I posted above is true, so you aren't doing yourself or your cause any favors posting this crap.
