Your Address is in Biden's Gun Registry FOREVER | ATF's Gun Registry Part 4

Published on August 30, 2022
Duration: 7:05

This video discusses the ATF's historical record-keeping practices and how a new Biden administration rule significantly alters them. It explains that previously, firearm transaction records older than 20 years could be destroyed by FFLs. The new rule mandates that FFLs retain these records until they shut down their business, effectively creating a permanent registry of firearm transactions, including those involving homemade firearms, dating back to August 2002. The video argues this expansion is unnecessary for crime solving and primarily serves to build a comprehensive gun owner database.

Quick Summary

Biden's new ATF rule mandates that federally licensed firearm dealers (FFLs) must retain all firearm transaction and background check records until they cease business operations, effectively ending the previous 20-year destruction policy for records older than that. This creates a permanent registry of firearm transactions, including those for homemade firearms, dating back to August 2002.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main change introduced by Biden's new ATF rule regarding firearm records?

Biden's new ATF rule mandates that federally licensed firearm dealers (FFLs) must retain all firearm transaction and background check records until they cease business operations, effectively ending the previous 20-year destruction policy for records older than that.

How does the new ATF rule impact gun owners' privacy?

The rule means that all firearm transaction records, including those for homemade firearms purchased since August 2002, will be permanently stored and accessible to the ATF, creating a comprehensive registry linked to individuals' names, addresses, and social security numbers.

What was the ATF's previous policy on firearm record retention?

Previously, the ATF allowed gun dealers to destroy records that were over 20 years old. This practice was established in 1985, with the ATF determining that a 20-year retention period was sufficient for tracing purposes.

Does the new ATF rule aim to improve firearm tracing for crime solving?

The video argues that the new rule is not primarily about improving firearm tracing for crime solving, citing that only a small percentage of trace requests are currently unfulfillable due to the 20-year policy. Instead, it suggests the rule's main purpose is to create a permanent gun owner registry.
