Yeah, but what data can they hoover up? Gun shops still operate under a very archaic, non-digital system in which paper records are kept in an arbitrary order on the premises. Finding one guy's information is like finding a needle in a very big haystack.
At the very least, I would assume they can hoover up anything you post on the Internet or send in an email. They might not know what exactly is in your safe, but they could probably tell how exactly many times you've referenced the NSA, ATF, 2nd Amendment or the Constitution online. There are already websites like Spokeo and Mylife that do a reasonable job gathering information on people and even matching up their profiles from different social networking sites. I can only imagine that the NSA have the technology and informational access to be 100 times more in depth and accurate.
