I worked in a pawn shop for 20 years, I have sold a thousand guns, until the brady bill of 1993, all you had to do to buy a gun legally is fill out a form #4473. the form stayed with the store where you bought the gun.
after the brady bill you had to call in a nics background check, and it remains that way today, if you bought a gun in a store after the brady bill, you had to go through a background check.... unless you had a concealed carry permit then there is no check just a form you fill out #4473.
the government, unless you bought a gun from a private party, or a gun show, probably knows whether you have a gun or not.and
that can be attributed to that rapist bill Clinton.
oh, and by the way the form#4473 came into being after the assassination of Robert kennedy, before 1968 when you bought a gun there was no form to fill out at all. and no check whatsoever.
the forms, and background checks took away our freedoms.
my opinion.
That's an excellent point Binnie. I was more coming at it from the angle of where, even though you have to do a quick FBI background check even in Red states, that I doubt they were keeping close track. But then again, it is possible that every time the FBI gets a call from a gun shop asking for a background check on an individual, they keep track of it.
I was more speaking to compulsive state registration, which is only on the books in a minority of states.
