What happens when you buy a gun

[James Abram]

So are you saying that when a FFL fills out the 4473 on a computer and submits it that it then evaporates into the either? Kinda like snapchat.

The computer program we use for 4473 is only for filling out and printing the form, NOTHING is transmitted from that program, NOTHING is stored in that program, and yes, when I close out the 4473 in that program after printing it DOES disappear.

The only computer transmission of info is done in an entirely different system, the FBI NICS system, but NO gun info is sent in that.

what happened to the destroy them after 20 years but retain the bound book. Like was the law in the 80's and 90's ?

The ATF ruling (it’s NOT a law) changed April 1 of this year. We now have to keep them indefinitely.

So I could buy 30 rifles and a handgun in one transaction but as long as I don’t buy another handgun within 5 days no extra forums will be submitted to the ATF?

That is correct. And if you do buy another handgun within 5 days ONLY the handgun info is sent.

Bwahahaha! Sorry can't help myself!

A truely respectable dealer would have a accidental paper records fire before going out of business, also to have a back up plan administrator to do the same on their behalf should they become unable to preform their proper civil duties!

 

[OHJEEZE]
