Did/Does the NSA collect firearm records?

I know sportsmans scans all 4473...... Now if that system or files got intercepted on its way to corporate....there goes all makes/ model and serial numbers

Everything gets sucked up. Everything.

Yep. They're getting data from everywhere for everything on everyone.

They're not putting together a database of firearms sales. They're also not collecting the meta data of the majority phone calls made in this country or warehousing your emails and Internet browsing history.

I for one trust the NSA.

They are not tracking everyones firearms records. People are just getting down right paranoid now. And these Senators are just looking for publicity and want to act like they are on "your" side.

As does Dick's. Told to me by the employee when I bought a "pre F**k-Dick's" shotgun from them.

Pretty sure Bass Pro also scans EVERYTHING as I have had IT dealings with them in the past that would indicate large amounts of image data being stored.

The last one I bought at Bass Pro they actually had me fill out the 4473 on a laptop. I didn't touch paper except maybe to sign.

No they don't. Identifying info and is the check for a hangun(s) a rifle(s) or a other(s). That is it.

Isn't this information enough?

Isn't this information enough? Feds know how many long guns or handguns I've purchased in the last 15 years.

The ATF regularly "audits" the shop I work at. Also multiple firearms sales in the same transaction require you fax the 4473 data directly to them. They know what you have, or at the least a good idea. The next step is to criminalize us in one way or another and make the confiscation of said items and your "detention" palatable to the masses of sheeple. Then the real fun begins. (gently folds my tin foil hat and stores it for the next time I need it, which these days seems to be frequently)

Illegal? Lol. As if the people that work for the government give a shit. Laws are for you not them
