Ruby - As required by the regulations, these records must be surrendered to the ATF Out-of-Business Records Center (OBRC) or transferred to any successor of the firearms busine ss within 30 days of the discontinuance of such business [Handwritten changes add cite “27 C.F.R. 478.129” but may just be the above referenced forms] Quick ATF search. YOU can do your OWN homework before you state I'm wrong, ok? :)

ruby - if an FFL closes it's doors, they are legally bound to ship all transaction records directly to the ATF. I'm not sure what the ATF does with them afterwards, but I'm guessing they probably catalog and convert them to digital format into a searchable database if needed at a later point.

Locke - you are mistaken. First, they are 80% finished receivers, not 90%. Secondly, the rule states that if you create (at home, by yourself) your own finished receivers for whatever the weapon is, you CANNOT sell them. To do this, you need to legally become a firearm manufacturer through the ATF. This IS NOT an easy process. If you, as a private citizen, build one of these receivers, you CANNOT sell it, you CANNOT even will it to your spouse, children, etc. If you ever decide that you no longer want said receiver, you are legally bound to destroy it. Go against these rules and you violate law and the ATF will put you in prison.

Comment I agree with freax - Thank You Snowden (Score 4, Insightful) 243

It was at great peril and disregard to himself and his personal safety that Edward Snowden went into hiding due to proving yet again the danger of a government left unchecked, unquestioned and ungoverned. It is my hope that he is allowed to safety one day return to the US and take his place among the countless heroes there.
