[ He also admitted the ATF, even though barred from creating a federal database of firearm owners, still devotes its time and resources to “work within that system” and link guns to owners. ]

While I have my doubts on the legality of his agency's actions to 'work with that system', just the mere mention of this makes me wonder if a FOIA filing should be made... which is also scary, because if were to yield what I fear, we wouldn't want any of that in the public arena. So any action to call them to account for something nefarious could backfire.

So, who ELSE is barred from doing this?
