Washington, D.C. – -(Ammoland.com)- Yesterday, reports emerged on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) admitting to managing a federal database of nearly a billion gun transfer records.

This information was submitted as a response to a letter sent by Congressman Cloud (TX-27) in November 2021.

“A federal firearm registry is explicitly banned by law. Yet, the Biden Administration is again circumventing Congress and enabling the notably corrupt ATF to manage a database of nearly a billion gun transfer records,” Congressman Cloud said.

“The Biden Administration continues to empower criminals and foreign nationals while threatening the rights of law-abiding Americans. It’s shameful and this Administration should reconsider its continued attacks on American gun owners.”
