Or credit card records. I wonder how many people have bought AK's or AR's "under the radar" and then ordered a slew of mags or accessories from some website?
A couple years after I let my license expire I got a letter asking me to mail in the 4473's. I ignored it. Roughly 6 months later I got another letter just like the first one, so I put them in a big envelope and shipped them off.
As inefficient as this government is, I suspect there's a good chance they just disappeared into a government black hole, never to be seen again
And I'll bet you're dead wrong.And I bet the forms didn't. I bet some interns typed all of that information into massive databases and then the forms were scanned and saved. Evidenced by the fact that they didn't just forget about the forms AND many agencies/states (per the above comments) have been caught keeping the records.

One thing I'm not sure about is how long dealers are required to maintain records of firearms purchases. I'm guessing this probably varies from state-to-state as well, but there are probably federal requirements as well. If anyone has info on this, I'd appreciate it.
All transfers get logged in/out of the bound book regardless of whether it's just a transfer or a sale. The bound book is the record that must be retained.I'm guessing all records are the same and the answer is "yes", but I figured I'd ask.
Poor spelling, caps, poorly written, etc. Just wow.Hello ! Am new to the forum , but a firearm enthusiast for many years . I am NOT a lawyer but the 4473's are kept on micro-fish by BATF forever once you turn em in. I believe the 90 day destruction rule was under the old BRADY BILL . The BRADY ACT did prohibit registration , but was not strictly enforced . MORE IMPORTANTLY is "The Fire Arms Owners Protection Act OF 1983 ? It PROHIBITS Federal , State and Local subdivisions from compiling a list of Firearm Owners and TYPE of firearm or serial #. Interesting eh ? Then why are the 4473's kept ? I am not a tin foil hat person , however , anyone whom believes that firearm purchase records are not kept is in denial . Semper Fi ! Tom
Thats the state where the guy with the "Foot in Mouth Disease" is from. Yes, Biden who is anti gun.And then there's Delaware, the state that was recently caught warehousing gun purchase data...
