Frequently Asked Questions

What did the Gun Owners of America (GOA) discover about the ATF?

Using a FOIA request, GOA discovered that the ATF has created a searchable national gun registry by digitizing over 50 million 'out of business' FFL records, accumulating nearly one billion records in total. This database is searchable by multiple data fields.

What is the 'No REGISTRY Rights Act'?

The 'No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your (No REGISTRY) Rights Act' is a bill reintroduced by Rep. Michael Cloud. It aims to legally compel the ATF to destroy all gun purchase records currently held in their databases, preventing the existence of a centralized gun registry.

Why is the ATF's gun registry considered a concern?
