Why can’t they pass a law that bans collecting the names of people who are allowed to own guns. The only list they should check is the list of those who lost their rights, such as violent ex-cons. Not on that list, you are free to buy. I’m assuming they save every request so they have a de-facto list of gun owners. That pisses me off.

Me too!
I believe they collect/retain the records of gun dealers going out of business.
They also insist gun dealers retain the records, I believe for twenty years, just in case they can justify collecting the records off the dealers. And they will, someday.
