"... what is the purpose of the report?"

I would imagine they might use it to check if there are any current wants or warrants on the purchaser.

They just did a background check. Remember? That told them that I have no wants or warrants. If I had failed that, there would have been no purchase. But if my purchase exceeds some unpublished magic number of rounds, it still gets reported. Again I ask: Why?

No, I'm clean. Clean enough that the State of New York has deigned to give me a handgun permit. Why should I begrudge the NY State Police their desire to know about my ammo-buying habits, right? Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Privacy is overrated and the police are our friends. Always.
