I wonder if that's really true. If you buy from a FFL dealer, ATF
form 4473 is completed for rifles as well as handguns, and the
make,model and SN are on this form. These forms are kept somewhere.

The forms are kept at the dealers place until that dealer goes out of business and then
the records are supposed to be shipped to the ATF. Of course when the ATF gets them, they
have people working to computerize the records.

By law, the BATFE is not allowed to computerize the records. They do
it anyway, Congress cuts their funding by the amount they spent,
everybody's happy but the database still exists. The only problem is
the large number of records that have yet to be entered.
