I’ve heard that gun background checks are supposedly destroyed after 6 months. However, a friend purchased a collectible Colt on Gunbroker. Two years and an out-of-state move later, ATF contacted him and confiscated the firearm. A “routine” review of purchases found the item. My theory is that these records never go away, they just get renamed and put in another file category.

It's an open secret that they keep the records. The BATFE is never supposed to have copies of the books that FFLs keep, but they routinely come into gun shops and copy them.

And you best not object, if you know what's good for you.

You might beat the rap, as they say, but you won't beat the ride.
