if you believe that they have to wait 90 days before they can acess the records you are mistaken
In this case, 90 days is the amount of time required before proceedings to release the records can even begin.
In the event that an LEA requests an ATF trace on a specific firearm recovered pursuant to an ongoing investigation, there is no timeframe.
The records (trace data) that is immediately available to LE agencies is not lists of firearm dispersion from each manufacturer; it is a database of individual guns that have already been traced.

I truly am curious how OSBI procured their list, because they have certainly opened themselves and all facilitating parties up to serious litigation. 4473's are not public record anymore than bank accounts or other documents with myriad bits of personal information are. And any dealer who would volunteer the information without being legally compelled to do so does not deserve to be in business. If the list OSBI procured came from BATFE, there are either unscrupulous dealers or it was a serious abuse of compliance inspections.
