The Attorney General (for many years) has stated that multiple firearms purchases may be an indicator for criminal activity -- so its okay force those purchases into the FTC.

So, already, we have registration for weapons that have not been used in any criminal activity.
While I don't know where you are getting your information, that hasn't been my experience with dealing with a firearm search. Most of my searches literally take several weeks to over a month to get back from the ATF and when I inquire why, I'm told it is all done by hand search of records. The only searches that come back quickly are recently purchased firearms, where it is a call to the manufacturer leading to a call to the dealer who sold it.

Again, I'm not disparaging your information, it just hasn't been my experience nor my conversations with ATF.
