This video clarifies how firearm sales are tracked by licensed dealers, emphasizing that individual handgun purchases do not typically involve direct serial number reporting to the ATF. Records are primarily maintained by the dealer via ATF Form 4473, with specific tracking triggered by multi-handgun purchases or if a firearm is used in a crime. The focus is on preventing unlicensed straw purchases and illegal sales.
