From a purely legal perspective, does BATFE have the authority to require shops to report the sale of multiple "Assault Type" guns in a 5 day period?
What can they do with the information?
Is a .223 a caliber greater than .22?
According to Chuck Hawks http://www.chuckhawks.com/rifle_bullet_diameter.htm
The .223 is .224 inches bullet diameter.
The .22 is .223 inches

Here is an old link with the proposed form ATF 3310.12:

Under the new policy, federal firearms licensees in Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico must report purchases of two or more of some types of rifles by the same person in a five-day span. The requirement applies to purchases of semi-automatic rifles that have detachable magazines and a caliber of greater than .22.
