...would you trust the dems with it, e.g. Federal Form 4473?

Precisely my reason for opposing passage of the PATRIOT Act in its current form. There is every reason for monitoring incoming communications from suspect locations for keywords. There is no legitimate reason for the power to conduct warrantless searches of gun records.

I know this is going to come as a big surprise but the Govt could careless about the Average Citizens gun records. However, if they are about to conduct a no knock raid on a suspected terrorist hideout, they probably DO really want to know the gun records of the house owner. Get over yourselves you paranoids. YOU are the center of YOUR world which the Govt could care LESS then NOTHING about.
