Question: How does the ATF trace firearms?
If as a FFL:
Will the FFL point the ATF to buyer #1 or buyer #2?
Please only answer if you are or have been a FFL.
If as a FFL:
- You purchased a NIB Glock 19 sn# 12345 straight Glock in 2015.
- Buyer #1 purchased that Glock 19 sn#12345 from your store that in 2016.
- Then in 2020 Buyer #1 took the same exact G19 sn#12345 that he purchased from you, that you purchased directly from Glock NIB, back to your store to resell or transfer.
- That same day you sell/transfer that same G19 sn#12345 to Buyer #2.
- The next day the ATF (who got your info from Glock) walks into your store and ask you to look up a Glock 19 sn# 12345 that you purchased in 2015, and tell them who you sold/transferred it to.
Will the FFL point the ATF to buyer #1 or buyer #2?
