[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2126341, member: 1132"] They want the capability to do BATFE traces on firearms used in crimes, but it won't work. As it is now, ATF goes back to the manufacturer or importer to find out which distributor/FFL the gun went to, then they go to the FFL and have them pull the 4473 and track ownership as far as they can. The problem is, when they trace a firearm that's already been in citizen hands, the only way they'll be able to trace it back to the last point of sale is if THEY keep records on the NICS check. Otherwise a gun could be sold by an FFL, transferred several times before the UBC, then transferred again by the same FFL between two citizens and they'd never know it went through that dealer again. So I'll say it again, either they abandon Trace data after the 1st FFL sale, or THEY register all firearms transactions in a federal database. THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT! That's why I'm so pissed at Coburn for working with them at all. :( [/QUOTE]
