How does FFL "multi-purchase" reporting effect you?

[mgkdrgn]

THIS FFL would attempt to talk you out of such foolishness.

If that didn't work, I'd be telling you to find another FFL. Pandering to your paranoia isn't worth my licence.

I don't have enough disposable income to worry about buying two rifles at the same time.

Running into the multi-purchase reporting problem goes in the list of "Problems I wish I had."

Same here. This is a First-World Problem, if ever there was one.

I avoid buying more than two at a time because it's nunotheirfarginbizness how many firearms I have. That stated, they're probably already tracking all our purchases anyway. It does tick me off that I must pay additional transfer fees than I once did. When I was buying lots of guns at a time to build a collection I could save quite a bit of money by waiting until 10-12 were ready for pickup. Not anymore...

Sad to hear that people here aren't concerned about going onto the "naughty" list for arbitrary purchases...

I won't speak for others, but for me personally (I'm sure you were at least partially inspired to say this because of my joking post #27), it's not that I'm unconcerned - it just doesn't effect me personally.

Is anti-gun legislation a slippery-slope, and could this lead to more negative changes? Sure it is, and yes it could; but that isn't the topic of this thread.

And there is the problem. Other people's problems soon become our own, but we ignore it until it creeps into our own backyard.

And now ignoring it has led to the requirement of multi-rifle sales in "some" states, but not mine... so who cares??

You asked people to chime in on "how this impacts me," and added that conspiracies are welcome. If conspiracies were mandatory, you should have said so. I answered the question you asked, as did others who this simply will not have a direct effect on.

I freely admit that there are multiple ways this BS could spread into a flurry of feces, but I chose not to go into it. Just not interested in the "What if..." game. And just for clarity, this lame legislation does effect people in my state, as I live in Arizona; however, it still doesn't effect me.

Really?
Ummmm....so what gun forums do you visit where members post about how delighted they are with ATF regulations and Federal gun laws (it ain't here).

What "naughty list" would that be? You realize that I probably do two of these a month, and I'm a pretty small shop. A big shop might do dozens. Multiply that by all the shops in the country and there are thousands every month. Probably half of gun owners have triggered that requirement at some point in time. Given that there are millions--tens of millions--of gun owners I dont think that is really a "naughty list."
The only thing the requrement does is unite the buyer with his two handguns for one day. After that the information reaches obsolete.
Gun board paranoia strikes again.
