In order for the ATF to make a data base of firearm owners, they would have to visit every retailer in the US and copy every transaction made since 1968. Unless you believe in conspiracies, ATF has not done this. Tennesse does not have a registration law. A carry permit holder is not required to own a firearm in Tennessee and the firearm is not registered. A Tennessee permit holder could borrow a handgun. If you have purhased a firearm from a retailer with an instant background check; it is possible for ATF to easily break the law and create a database from new purchases. BTW, a curio and relic purchase is made without an instant background check. If ATF wants to look for owners of obsoletebolt bolt action rifles, they are wasting manpower. Now that I have read my own comment, I think I'll finish the process.
