Remember the De Facto Gun Registry?

Back here I pointed to a post by Tam and noted how a de facto gun registry existed on form 4473.

What followed was a spirited discussion where Tam said (in a nutshell) that it wasn't feasible. Tons of paperwork to sift through, etc. True enough.

Now, from Red's Trading Post comes this news on how the ATF is pushing gun dealers to adopt an automated system for their 4473's.

Looking a bit more feasible now.

Read 'em and weep.
