They send them to me so I know if you get too close to me.
You're kidding, right?I'm still waiting on an honest and verifiable answer.
In my opinion, this issue is really not that important. Government already has you in their database. If you have bought a firearm from a dealer you are in a government database so why is this a big deal?

When the toll roads came to Houston, the Harris County Toll Road Authority assured everyone that their records (which are mostly readings of toll tags but also includes license plate reader output) were private. It took less than 6 months for an attorney in a divorce case to get a court order for the records.
I personally have experience with this. My toll tag died (back when they had batteries in them) and the plate reader kept track of me for a couple of years. Then there was a mixup in the database and I got hit with a bunch of fines from the previous two years. Thus, I know those records are kept for years despite the original HCTRA promises that such would not be the case.
My point is that whenever a database is created it tends to persist and public servants who say otherwise are usually lying.

Oversimplified, what you're thinking is theoretically right. Many people believe that theory and practice diverge in this context.FFLs is this true? I thought the forms were just kept on file, but not sent to the govt, unless a specific request was made/
