IIRC, this government is prohibited from compiling a gun registry database, period. They aren’t even allowed to keep all of the Forms 4473 that are filed (only when the gun seller goes out of business do those forms go to the government, and that is only so they can track where a specific gun went, i.e., when one is used in a crime ).

Yes, but when did that ever stop them? They'll keep the records anyways and who's going to know or be able to do anything about it?

That’s why it’s so important that we get a President in office who is willing to hold those agencies (e.g., collusion between NCIC and BATFE) fully accountable. The same thing goes for Congress. As it is now they are very likely egregiously violating the spirit (and letter) of the 1986 FOPA (Firearms Owner’s Protection Act.)
