19 guns—there have to be records of who sold them if he indeed bought them.

No, this is America, not North Korea. It's illegal to keep a database of gun purchases. The FBI is required by federal law to destroy all records of NICS background checks within 24 hours - as a safeguard to protect our Constitutional gun rights.

The background check records are not to be kept, but the record of the gun purchase is kept by a Federally licensed firearms dealer indefinitely—i.e. forever.

And these records are to be produced upon any request by the Feds.

Except the FBI is on record as defying that and is known to retain those records.
