Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Gun Owners of America (GOA) concerned about regarding the ATF's record processing?

GOA is concerned that the ATF, under the Biden administration, is processing an excessive number of gun owner records (over 54 million last year) as a potential step towards creating a national gun registry and eventual confiscation, similar to actions seen in Australia.

How does the 1968 Gun Control Act relate to the ATF's record collection?

The 1968 Gun Control Act mandates that records from out-of-business gun stores are transferred to the ATF. However, GOA argues that the Act does not authorize the ATF to use these records to establish a national gun registry.

What changes are proposed regarding FFL record retention?

Proposed Biden administration rules aim to prevent FFLs from destroying transaction records older than 20 years. This would force them to keep all records indefinitely or turn them over to the ATF, contributing to a centralized database.

What is the ATF's stance on the collected records forming a gun registry?

The ATF denies that the out-of-business records they possess constitute an initiation or continuation of any federal gun registry. However, GOA alleges the ATF uses dubious authority to implement laws and create such a registry.
