In Topic: Suggestions for the Acting Deputy Director

10 April 2011 - 02:58 PM

A news article on the ATF news website (internal) reports that a RIDER was placed in the current budget prohibiting the requirement to force Multiple sales reporting on long guns. Bottom line is, we could have never managed all that information. The FFL's are voluntarily reporting and we cant keep up with it.


So Vincent, what exactly are FFL's reporting voluntarily? In other words, if there is no requirement, why increase the mess and hassle for themselves? Additionally, why aid the government in potentially creating an effective registry, on a national basis, or long gun ownership?

Lastly, what do most FFL's view as being a suspicious "multiple long gun purchase"? In other words, two? More than two? Three?

Hi. My apologies if I am posting this in the wrong forum or if a thread has already been made about, however, I have a question. Does anyone know if the proposal by the ATF/Federal Government to require FFLs (i.e. gun dealers) to report multiple purchases of long guns by a single purchaser on the same day (or over the course of 5 business days from what I hear) to the ATF has taken effect yet? If so, please provide some relevant links to news reports chronicling such. Thanks in advance.
