Does ATF retain information from a background check? For ex...if joe buys a pistol and FFL does routine paperwork and check does ATF retain paperwork and computer files/indexes on the background? I'd heard dealer must keep ten years, maybe longer now? But did not know if otherwise ATF had information in their own systems.
