Apparently, it is routine for the federal government to ask FFLs for photocopies of their records.
The law is clear on this. No permanent record (paper or electronic) is to be retained by the feds.
Apparently, when an FFL calls in a background check the government keeps the information for 30 days. This is also not in compliance with the law.
It was a bad idea in 1994 for background checks and it is a bad idea in 2013.
The government will always try to misuse this information.
