NRA-ILA Gathering Information on BATFE Demand Letter

We reported
last week on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives plan to
take the first step toward national gun sales registration. In response to
the BATFE plan--which will force the reporting of semi-automatic rifle sales
by Federal Firearm Licensees in Southwest border states including Arizona,
California, New Mexico, and Texas--NRA-ILA is looking to gather as much
information as possible about the BATFE demand letters.
If you are:
1) a FFL; and
2) received a letter from the
BATFE requiring you to report multiple sales, or other dispositions, of two
or more rifles, as described above, and;
3) you have conducted such
sales in the past and believe that the letter you received requires you to
report them to the BATFE,
please contact NRA-ILA’s Office
of Legislative Counsel. The office may be reached by phone at (703) 267-1161,
fax (703) 267-1164 or email at ILALegal@nrahq.org.
If you contact the office via fax or email, please be sure to provide your
name, contact information, and, if possible, a copy of the letter you
received.
Please do not contact this
office if you are not a FFL, have not received one of these demand letters,
or do not conduct sales that would require such reporting. http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=7007
