As I understand it, currently the BATF is still backlogged several years in doing the data entry for all the millions of 4473s that were turned in when Clinton purged the FFL dealers, some years back. They are stashed in a warehouse in Pittsburgh. It seems that those dealers were not as rigorous about storage, filing, and penmenship as it might have been hoped.

And rumor has it that, while the BATF now likes unannounced audits on FFLs to check record keeping, they are not allowed to keep any data collected for more than one month. I also know an old FFL holder that keeps most of his older 4473s in a 55 gallon drum full of brine, for safety.

In passing, I might also point out that the BATF likes to sneak around gun shops and shows, trying to spot perceived "violations" that they can prosecute. The last I can attest to, having met some crew cut idiot with a Second Chance vest acting all stupid and asking questions about where he could get a gun converted to full auto.

I explained that all I knew about "them there machine gun things" wus whut I seen on the Televizir, when I wusn't watching Extreme Cage Fighting....

I love your response. LOL. It's twisted stuff, huh, jonascord? Yours isn't the first story I've heard of what they're doing and their (sick and desperate) tactics. They sure misunderestimate Americans.

All you can do is tell yourself and realize that their behavior IS desperation, in a way, and they'll always be taking one step forward and two back...when faced with educated, freedom-loving and seeking, untreadable-on Americans.

Bumping you.
