Reporting Multiple Firearms Sales
The Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968 requires federal firearms licensees (FFLs) to send a report to ATF when there is a sale of multiple firearms to the same purchaser within a certain time period.
ATF uses the information gathered from multiple sales transactions to investigate possible firearms trafficking cases. If one or more firearms recovered from a crime are part of a multiple purchase, this could be an indicator of potential firearms trafficking. Crime guns recovered shortly after a multiple sale is known as a short time-to-crime ratio.

I guess I will be the libertarian here and remind everyone that so many of these politicians have violated the constitution with such regularity that they are beyond "high crimes and misdemeanors" and more closely resemble traitors that should be hanged.

I know that FFLs are required to file the additional form for these purchases but is the ATF required to follow up on every one in person? I can't see them doing that, but I could be wrong.It was either the '86 ban or the '94 ban that requires ATF to do this on multiple, same time purchases. I agree though, just because they have a job to do does not mean I need to help them complete it.
Yep. They need to know that this kind of **** won't be tolerated. The message needs to be spread far and wide.Exercise your “NO” muscle.
Working this muscle out often might be a benefit to the community as a whole.
I'll have to go back and research it some more. This may have been part of the ban that was just never really done. Perhaps Agents have been instructed to start doing that part of the job. Not sure yet. Also, we know little about the purchaser. Was he on some radar prior to this interaction? All speculation I guess at this pointI know that FFLs are required to file the additional form for these purchases but is the ATF required to follow up on every one in person? I can't see them doing that, but I could be wrong.
