I guess my bottom line question is; does the government really destroy the information?

[abclily]

How would you know if they do destroy the information? What do they have to check for - mental stability, etc.?

Great thing is, you will be educated and entertained at the same time!!!

I think it safe to assume the government takes note.

The dealer has to retain records permanently. Ultimately, when the dealer decides it's time to retire or close the business for any other reason, he has to hand over all his records to the Feds.

They CERTAINLY do not in California. I was told they would do so, but in fact, the DOJ has the records. My brother in law is CA DOJ, and I have had a gun stolen, so I know that the DOJ keep these records.

Currently it is a violation of federal law if the feds do not destroy that information or if any government agency compiles a computerized list of background checks. Former attorney general John Ashcroft cracked down on DOJ officials that were circumventing that law. Do you really think Obama’s justice department is complying?

What, you think this is voter registration or something? PO boxes are only for Acorn-approved purposes.
