FIREARM OWNERS PROTECTION ACT OF 1986
This has probably come up before. But, can anyone explain, logically, why this is not being followed.
From the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986
The Act also forbade the U.S. Government agency from keeping a registry directly linking non-National Firearms Act firearms to their owners, the specific language of this law (Federal Law 18 U.S.C. 926 (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/926) being:
"No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners Protection Act [1986] may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established.
