Because of the fact that I bought them from an FFL, the forms from my 4473 are saved for X amount of years. In that aspect, I consider it basically registering a firearm.

That probably doesnt make much sense, but oh well.

I dont know very much about the laws pertaining to this thread, but why do you think I started it in the first place?

That's just a sales record and nothing else.

Other than the FFL, nobody knows what you bought unless they go looking or you voluntarily register it with the manufacturer (for warranty purposes).

No big deal really.

A firearm might be traceable to you if a lot of "ifs" stack up


IF you bought the firearm from a dealer, IF you are the original owner, IF the dealer sent his 4473s to ATF when he closed his doors,IF the 4473 is legible, IF the gun has never been sold in a private sale, IF the ATF could actually figure out which dealer it went to in the first place...

CSI makes this all look as if it's routine, and can be accomplished in the space of a few minutes. BULLSH!T...the chain is very weak, and can take months to track down, so they only attempt it in very serious cases (murder or similar).
