GOA’s Prior Investigation into ATF’s Registry
Back in November of 2021, GOA uncovered internal documents showing that ATF had processed over 54 MILLION firearm transaction records (Form 4473s) into a national database in just the last year.
The news rightfully shocked the nation—and GOA’s Antonia Okafor even went on Tucker Carlson’s show to discuss it.Â
These firearm transaction records contain all sorts of personal information about the gun owner (like even their place of birth) as well as information about the guns including their serial numbers.
if you think that 54,000,000+ gun and gun owner records in a national database run by ATF is bad, wait ’til you hear this.Â
ATF’s Billion Record Gun Registry REVEALEDÂ
After our story broke, Gun Owners of America worked with Representative Michael Cloud (TX-27) to launch an investigation into the ATF leak.Â
Representative Cloud led 51 other pro-gun members of Congress demanded. accountability from ATF, asking: How many records does the ATF’s Out-of-Business Records Center (OOB) have in total?
Unable to hide the truth any longer, ATF was forced to respond:
In total,
ATF manages 920,664,765 OBR as of November 2021. This includes digital and an estimated number of hard copy records that are awaiting image conversion. It is currently estimated that 865,787,086 of those records are in digitalized format.
This is shocking.
This is outrageous.
This violates the prohibition on a national gun registry in existing law.
This is unconstitutional.
