New Leaks Shows ATF Running Background Checks On Gun Buyers Retroactively

MARTINSBURG, WV –-(Ammoland.com)- AmmoLand News learned through a leaked Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) conference call that the agency is starting to run gun buyers retroactively through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). 

In the conference call, the ATF leadership asked its Industry Operations Inspectors (IOI) to collect information on the customers that used concealed carry permits instead of obtaining a background check through the NICS. The purpose of obtaining this information would be to run the customer’s data through the NICS to see if the customer would have received an approved or denied status. In addition, the IOI will pass on the names and information of customers denied by the NICS to the criminal branch for a special agent to follow up.

Well, so much for all of you that were snickering because you didn't have to go through a background check if you had a permit to carry a handgun.

  2. I think it's time we charged Fibbies with the crimes they are committing. In a citizen's court, of course, as there's no longer any doubt that the courts are corrupt. Punishement should be swift. And individual . . .

  3. If a 4473 is involved, there is no anonymity. All the concealed carry permit does is save the time it takes for the dealer to make the NICS call.

    If the FFL keeps his 4473 data in an electronic format, it makes it real easy for the ATF to collect the records of people who used their concealed carry permit. A paper 4473 would at least make the ATF have put some effort into collecting that information.

  4. “We solemnly promise that the NICS won’t store any data whatsoever and won’t be a gun registry…”

  5. This smells like an unconstitutional search.

  6. Considering how many NCIC checks come back with incorrect denials, this will turn into another ATFE(Keystone Kops)fiasco.
