If I’m not mistaken, all the NICS does is answer this question:
“Is it OK for Joe schmoe, age, weight, height, eye color, race to buy one of these: long gun, rifle, hand gun”?
Nowhere does it say what type I.E. ak47, Remington 870, etc.
Anybody that’s a FFL have any more info on what gets input into the NICS?
Oh, and by the way, the NICS check worked at Newtown; the perp tried to buy a weapon but was DENIED.
So he STOLE it and the car.

You are not mistaken.
The 4473 is the form you fill out that details all of the information detailing the firearm purchased. Those forms are kept on file at the premises of the FFL that processed the transfer for a minimum of 20 years or until the time they dissolve the business when the forms are sent in.
In order to get the info the EO would have to demand that all FFL's send in their forms, which is a direct violation of law.
Not saying the law seems to matter much anymore, its just what it currently says
