A shorter article about some of the the innerworkings of The National Tracing center, the involved work they do and also an interesting news article that offers additional perspective involved in their task. Was told and had read several times over years by various sources that all firearms purchase / ownership records were destroyed after a short period of time and with no searchable national records or database of any type was kept. - That there's no national gun registry. Apparently firearm records are kept for a lengthy period of time, the info heard and read was inaccurate because the firearm records are evidently there and the records are apparently searchable?

The U.S. Gun Tracing Center

The hallways were lined with so many boxes of paper records it violated the building code.

Former ATF agent: Current gun tracing system is 'insane'

The mass shooting that killed 17 people at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida has the country reexamining the way gun laws are approached. Some of those laws force federal agents to use an outdated system to trace guns used in crimes.

That dude Janet Reno said plain as day when the NICS went online that “ the government’s collective data server was incapable of deletion”. We’ve known since day one that the 88 days then it’s deleted thing was pure fantasy.

Yes, I remember that statement too. Fantasy? Agreed. What's written is often not what's done in reality. Was more of an awareness post for some who do not see or understand involved 2A issues. Part of the issues are sometimes with the "garbage in garbage out" scenario of record keeping, with correct and incorrect info being confused and or distorted.

Many older supposed disposed of laws or other written info is often not deleted for various reasons. .... while some is just possible sedate human nature, some to retain for historical record, some is or may be intentional. And, sometimes just to appease someone else, like a selected favored few, citizens and voters for example? Some law and our freedom don't always correlate too well together?

Fables / stories like Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz may come to mind? Also as in "White man speak with forked tongue?" - Maybe why many stories warnings are possibly passed down in writing and verbally repeated?
