alt Hacker NewsOh I agree. It is very likely that the electronic checks are recorded and could be used as a non-official registry of gun owners. I removed my comment to that effect because it is speculation. But, electronic records are so easily recorded that I have little doubt that the electronic checks are in fact an illegal registry.
can the police not use a found weapon's serial number to determine its owner? how can they do that if there's no registry with that info?
