[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1460870, member: 796"] The multiple sales report is to see if you are buying guns to sell. If you're not, no big deal. If you are........:smack: I know a collector that was asked whether he had the 6 or so guns he had bought recently still in his possession; he did, and they just said "Thank you." If you drop a gun you bought from an FFL while you are robbing a bank, they will "forward trace" the gun from the manufacturer to you, and yes indeed, they've got you until/unless you show prior sale to someone else. Although no paperwork is required for a private sale, this is an example when it would be extremely valuable to have. The Feds love paperwork. As to getting caught easily, all our fingerprints are in the FBI database if we were in the military or have a CHL. I'm sure they'd catch me before I got home. So :selfangel Added: By the way, the ability to "forward trace" is nothing new. Within 24hrs of the assasination of President Kennedy, the FBI verified that Lee Harvey Oswald (assasin) bought the surplus Italian rifle mail order from Chicago under an assumed name. That was before the 1968 GCA, which raised the question at the time why exactly we needed the new restrictions. [/QUOTE]
