Looking at the widget http://www.learcapital.com/exactprice right now gold and silver are trading at $1,098.00 and $17.12 an ounce. Down for the day but come 2010 I’m really going to keep an eye on it.

The Firearms Owners’ Protection Act, signed into law in 1986, specifically forbids registration of firearms records at 18 U.S.C. 926(a):
“No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act 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 dispositions be established.”

The wording is very clear. It does not matter if the registration systems are manual or automated, nor if they are paper records or electronic – all are specifically prohibited.

Out-of-Business Records
When a firearms dealer, importer, or manufacturer dies or goes out of business, all the Acquisition/ Disposition records (the “Bound Book”) kept by the business, by law, must be delivered to the BATF Out-of-Business Center. Currently (according to the 2010 BATF Budget Submission), over 1.2 million records per month are turned in to the BATF Out-Of-Business Center.
On August 25, 2008, BATF implemented Ruling 2008-2, allowing Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders to keep the Acquisition/Disposition “Bound Book” on a computer. However, when the FFL goes out of business, the BATF requires a computer (digital) file and file description be provided to the BATF Out-of-Business Records Center – in addition to a printout of the “bound A/D book”. Since BATF kindly allows dealers to also record antique firearms in the A/D book, these records are also being turned in to BATF. This is an official BATF Ruling issued after 1986 (see above quote), thus specifically violates 18 U.S.C. 926(a) as a rule requiring the digital file to be “transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States”.

Obviously, BATF intends to make use of those digital records, which include the Name and Address of every Buyer and every Seller for each gun, as well as the Manufacturer, Model, Caliber and Serial of each firearm. In fact, each set of Out-of-Business digital records is precisely a system of registration of firearms, firearm owners and firearm transactions specifically prohibited by 18 U.S.C. 926(a). BATF has not revealed what they are doing with these digital files. Regardless, it is a simple task to search these digital files for specific names or addresses, or to extract all purchasers of 9mm handguns, or combine all of these digital Out-of-Business files into one large registration database.

History of Out-of-Business Record Systems
Before 1991, BATF kept the Out-of-Business records in paper hard copy filed at the Out-of-Business Records Center. In 1991, they began a major project to microfilm these paper records and destroy the hard copy. This project not only included the licensee’s “Bound Book” (Acquisition/Disposition records), but also every ATF Form 4473, which contains name, address, height, weight, race, date of birth, place of birth, and driver’s license number (or other ID). (GAO Report T-GGD-96-104, 04/25/96)

Computer Assisted Retrieval System (CARS)

In 1992, BATF began creating a computerized “index” (based on firearm serial number and dealer license number) to the microfilmed Out-of-Business records. Data was originally captured on minicomputers and transferred to a mainframe computer database. The retrieval system, called “CARS” (Computer Assisted Retrieval System), was disclosed in a 1995 letter to Tanya K. Metaksa of the NRA. By 2000, BATF revealed they had indexed 100 million such records, with over 300 million additional records scheduled to be added over the following two years. (Commerce in Firearms, BATF, 2000) Over 400 million firearm transaction records were to be indexed by 2002 – about twice the total estimated number of firearms in the United States at that time.

Notwithstanding the conclusions of the Government Accounting Office in 1996 that this system complied with legislative restrictions, this combination of automated and manual retrieval of individual sales records is a de facto system of registration of firearms, firearm owners and firearm transaction specifically prohibited by 18 U.S.C. 926(a).

Microfilm Retrieval System (MRS)

By March, 2004, BATF acknowledged the existence of their advanced automated Microfilm Retrieval System (MRS) containing information on 380 million firearms with an additional 1 million firearms added per month. This system had been enlarged from the previous system (CARS) to contain not only firearm serial numbers, but the manufacturer and importer as well. Additional data fields have been added to help identify specific firearms. (April Pattavina, 2005)

More recently (since at least 2005), ATF has been converting microfilmed dealer out-of-business records to “digital images”. It is not clear whether this is a digitized “picture” file of the microfilm, or a digital record of each individual acquisition/disposition. Regardless of the storage method, and whether access to the detail A/D record is automated or manual, this system is precisely a system of registration of firearms, firearm owners and firearm transactions specifically prohibited by 18 U.S.C. 926(a).

In a paper presented to the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research in Geneva, Switzerland, published in 2003, Gary L. Thomas, Chief, Firearms Programs Division, BATF, discussed the planned digitization of Out-of-Business dealer, importer, and manufacturer records, mentioned the projected cost, and noted it would not require any legislative or regulatory changes. Shortly thereafter, the digitization project appeared in the Congressional Appropriations Bill.

From the 2005 Appropriations Bill:
“Conversion of Records. The conferees recognize the need for ATF to complete the conversion of tens of thousands of existing Federal firearms dealer out-of-business records from film to digital images at the ATF National Tracing Center. Once the out-of-business records are fully converted, search time for these records will be reduced significantly. The conference agreement includes $4,200,000 for the ATF to hire additional contract personnel to continue the conversion and integration of records.”

However, since 1979, Appropriations Bills specifically prohibited centralizing these same records:
“Provided, That no funds appropriated herein shall be available for salaries or administrative expenses in connection with consolidating or centralizing, within the Department of Justice, the records, or any portion thereof, of acquisition and disposition of firearms maintained by Federal firearms licensees:”

With convoluted logic, BATF consistently acknowledged the appropriations restriction and 18 U.S.C. 926(a), yet continues to consolidate and centralize all possible Acquisition/Disposition records in defiance of the law. BATF proclaimed that by not creating new “rules or regulations” (until Ruling 2008-2), they haven’t violated 18 U.S.C. 926(a). This obvious technicality is intended to evade the law and thwart the Will of Congress. By issuing Ruling 2008-2, BATF is blatantly violating the law.

Firearms Tracing System (FTS)
The BATF Firearms Tracing System (FTS) contains firearm tracing information from all traces performed since 1989. The data also includes over 460,000 (2003) Multiple Sales reports (ATF F 3310.4 – a registration record with specific firearms and owner name and address), all guns “suspected” as being used for criminal purposes, as well over 1.2 million (2002) detail results from all traces (which includes Names and Addresses of all known sellers and purchasers). This includes data manually collected from Out-of-Business records and entered into the trace system by BATF personnel.

“Suspect guns” include (a few of BATF’s own examples), individuals purchasing large quantities of firearms (including collectors of older firearms rarely used in crime), and dealers with “improper” record keeping. BATF continually refers to these records as “Crime Guns”. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some were used in crime, but most were traced by Law Enforcement for some other reason. Some were traced because they were innocently carried in a car. Others were traced because they were found in an apartment house where an unrelated crime occurred. Other firearms, particularly from Mexican sources, were seized (and traced) because mere possession is a crime in Mexico. If BATF (or the police) take guns into custody from a collector (even if he is completely innocent), the guns are traced. Other sources of innocent traces include gun “buy-back” schemes and guns voluntarily turned in to the police from estates and other sources.

In the words of a thirty-year police veteran, only a very small portion of firearms taken into police custody could possibly be considered a “crime gun.” Identifying the first lawful purchaser of a firearm rarely serves any investigatory purpose. Police take hundreds or thousands of firearms into custody as found property, safe-keeping, recovered-stolen or in possession of individuals who have been arrested for some other reason. In all those cases, according to law enforcement, it is of very little consequence who originally bought the gun from Acme Sporting Goods ten years ago. Police have reported BATF tries to compel them to trace every possible firearm, whether used in a crime or not, This is consistent with BATF’s goal to trace 100% of guns in police custody (as reported in 2007). By state law, New York and Connecticut require tracing of all such firearms.

Dealers have reported BATF agents copying huge numbers of 4473 forms during annual inspections, and it’s been further reported these copies are being entered into the BATF tracing system.

Once a gun is traced, even falsely or in error, and no matter how innocent the buyer, the first (and any known subsequent) owner’s personal data is retained in the trace file. Many older firearms from the same manufacturer have identical serial numbers, which will result in multiple erroneous traces. It is also documented that In attempts to accomplish a trace, Law Enforcement will frequently enter partial serial numbers to attempt a match, which results in additional false traces. Other firearms data has been included in this tracing system, but the sources are obscure. There are reports that state firearm registration systems have been loaded into the tracing system. In a press release, New Jersey admits posting all police records of gun purchases into the BATF Firearms Tracing System through eTrace.

“Each gun found by Chicago police–more than 10,000 annually–is traced and categorized by serial number, where it was found, if it was used in a crime and who bought it when and where. Computers can quickly display information such as where guns recovered on certain Chicago blocks are coming from or turn the data around to show where guns bought at out-of-state gun stores are turning up.” (Source: The Chicago Regional Crime Gun Center, run by the field intelligence group of BATF)

The Firearms Tracing System is filled with irrelevant data from which BATF attempts to make nonsensical connections. Simply throwing irrelevant data into a records system will not ensure any kind of meaningful result. (See Garbage In, Garbage Out in the Conclusions below). Untold millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent to create, maintain and enlarge this questionable system.
Whether all BATF systems of firearms records are combined into one huge data base is unknown. Regardless, from a data processing standpoint, each system can easily be linked to all other systems and subsystems for tracing and registration purposes – effectively creating a massive registration database. Individually, each set of firearms records is a system of registration of firearms, firearm owners and firearm transactions specifically prohibited by 18 U.S.C. 926(a).

BATF is so proud of their Firearms Tracing System (FTS), they offer on-line access by at least two systems.

Online LEAD
Online LEAD is a system available to all state and local law enforcement in the U.S. at ATF field offices throughout the country, with access to more than 100 million firearms transaction records (reported in 2001) in the BATF Firearms Tracing System (see data sources above). Online LEAD was developed in partnership with Idea Integration, K.W. Tunnell Company Federal Services Group, and BATF, first launched on in November 1999.

“ATF special agents are privy to the names and addresses of any individuals involved in multiple sales transactions or … gun traces (including false, erroneous and innocent traces) where the individual is the purchaser, possessor, and/or associate in the transaction.” (Prosecutor’s Guide to the ATF, 2003)

eTrace System
eTrace is a method of world-wide internet access to millions of registration records in the Firearms Tracing System! BATF publicized global access in United Nations Disarmament Marking and Tracing Workshops held in Nairobi, Kenya in December, 2007, Lomé, Togo in April, 2008, Rio de Janeiro in June, 2008, and other locations. BATF reported (in 2007) some 10,000 individuals representing over 1620 law enforcement agencies around the world (now expanded to over 2,000 agencies) have access to our personal information. Tracing data is of no value without identifying the individual purchaser (name & address), so BATF specifically provides “a description of the original retail purchaser”) to the requestor. In GAO Report 09-709, BATF reports the National Tracing Center, “conducts the gun traces, and returns information on their findings to the submitting party”, including corrupt Mexican Police. (See below).

The Firearm Tracing System provides manual & automated retrieval from previous traces, Out-of-Business records, Multiple Sales reports (ATF F 3310.4) the traditional phone calls to the manufacturer, distributor and final dealer, and additional sources as previously mentioned. Your name and address, detailed personal information from 4473 forms, and detail on your guns by serial number is directly available to 31 foreign governments, including governments with known corruption issues. Trace requests have been accepted by BATF from 58 foreign governments (some with terrorist connections). Mexico and Columbia (with known corruption issues) were provided with their own in-country tracing centers (staffed by Mexican and Columbian personnel) with full access to BATF registration records. BATF admits these are models for planned future tracing centers throughout Central and South America, and the Caribbean Basin.

Countries with current formal, direct eTrace access to our gun records include Mexico, Columbia, Suriname, Tobago, Guyana, Canada, Germany, Bahamas, Jamaica, The Dominican Republic, Barbados, Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, Aruba, Curacao, Dominica, Grenada, St Vincent, The Grenadines, St. Lucia, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, St. Kitts, Nevis, several Caribbean police forces, Britain, Australia, and Japan. Of these, how many have police corruption issues or known anti-firearms bias? BATF plans to add more countries in the near future.

A Spanish language version of the eTrace System is under development, and BATF admits a specific goal to provide eTrace software to all 31 states within the Republic of Mexico. (William Hoover, Assistant Director, Field Operations, BATF, Feb. 7, 2008).

Did anyone notice news reports that the Mexican Army recently disarmed corrupt Mexican Police in the cities of Tijuana, Cancun, Rosarito, Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa and Matamoros? And arrested a number of Police Commanders in Mexico City? Yet, during FY 2007 and 2008, BATF conducted twelve eTrace training sessions for Mexican Police (over 750 Mexican police officers) in several Mexican cities, including (guess where?) Mexico City, Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo, and Matamoros. (GAO Report 09-709) The most corrupt police in all of Mexico have been trained by BATF to enter and retrieve eTrace gun data and retrieve our personal information.

“Almost half of Mexican police officers examined this year have failed background and security tests, a figure that rises to nearly 9 of 10 cops in the border state of Baja California”, as reported by the Mexican Government. Additional reports indicate the Mexican Army may be just as corrupt as the Mexican Police. Nothing can prevent corrupt or incompetent police (foreign or U.S.) from making false, phony or fraudulent traces and retrieving our personal information for their own purposes.

Should we be uneasy because a corrupt Mexican Police official has our personal information as a result of an erroneous trace? The next time we travel in Mexico, will the Mexican Police take a special interest in us because of false or fraudulent traces? When we cross the border, will corrupt Mexican Police send someone from a drug cartel to visit our homes to collect our firearms while we are gone? The eTrace system is doing a grave disservice to American Citizens by placing us at risk when we travel to foreign countries. Further, if your name innocently (or otherwise) shows up on a foreign trace, you will be placed on BATF and foreign gun trafficker suspect lists.

“Another system that ties much of the bureau’s information together is called N-Focis, for National Field Office Case Information System. It has four parts:
* N-Force, which supports the agency’s criminal law enforcement activities, including investigations of firearms law violations, weapons smuggling and interagency task force projects
* N-Spect, which manages records for regulatory case enforcement
* N-Quire, which is built on N-Force and serves as an intelligence analytical tool for major investigations and to provide management information to command posts
* TMS, a text management system designed to search for text strings within the other databases and, eventually, to hold audio and video files.
‘The overall concept behind this is a centralized database where information is stored and can be queried or manipulated by anyone with authorization,’ said William Temple, special agent and program manager for N-Force in the Software Management Branch of the Information Services Division.”

Conclusions
The BATF Firearms Tracing System is a fraud. It purports to trace “crime guns”, but, in fact, is increasingly used as a Firearms Registration System. Innocent gun buyers from years ago are reported to corrupt foreign police and are treated as gun trafficking suspects. The full extent of official (and unofficial) foreign police access to names and addresses of American gun owners is unknown. There is no law to prevent foreign police from accessing and compiling gun ownership lists of Americans by name and address. Such efforts could even be surreptitiously funded by BATF, and no one would be the wiser. We have laws intended to prevent BATF from creating a Registration System in the United States, but these laws are being openly violated by BATF. Foreign police have no such legal constraints, and many have Firearm Registration Systems in their own countries. They can officially use the BATF Firearms Tracing System for their own purposes – and even report banned registration information on American gun owners back to BATF – or anyone else.

Make no mistake – a Firearms Tracing System is a euphemism for a firearms registration system. It does not matter if the system includes all firearms or all owners, nor if the system is manual (paper) or automated (electronic). If the system records and registers “firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions” it is a clear violation of 18 U.S.C. 926(a).
In a virtual registration manifesto, BATF outlined a path to full firearms registration (tracing) in “Structures And Institutions Necessary To Support The Effective Operation Of A Firearms Tracing Mechanism”, a paper presented to the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2003, by Gary L. Thomas, Chief, Firearms Programs Division, BATF (later Administration Vice President of Glock 2003-2005). Mr. Thomas admitted some “enhancements” to tracing (Registration) required “legislative and regulatory” changes”. (Does that include eliminating the 2nd Amendment, and 18 U.S.C. 926(a)?)

BATF publications clearly document they have no idea how many guns are sold at gun shows and other private sales, but this has not stopped them from publically asserting that many crime guns and many guns smuggled to Mexico come from gun shows and other private sales. This intentional exaggeration serves their goal of advocating tracing (registering) all private sales of used guns in addition to dealer sales.

The potential for abuse of registration systems is huge and ominous. For example, records can easily be sorted to report all buyers of .223 (5.56mm) rifles – or .50 BMG rifles, or any individual or street address. Registration systems have been used to disarm citizens in foreign countries. In the United States, these records could be used to confiscate guns in any local area during a “national emergency”. Does anyone remember the brutal gun roundup in New Orleans during Katrina?

Don’t be fooled. Regardless of BATF protests to the contrary, any automated record system containing individual gun owner names and addresses, can easily be accessed and extracted by name and address. Computer software is also readily available to make “ad hoc” inquiries and retrievals which leave no audit trail. In other words, BATF (or foreign police) could find all records for certain addresses or specific people, and leave no trace of the inquiry. Corrupt or misguided BATF employees or contractors can download gun owner records for their own purposes – and leave no trace.

All computer systems are also vulnerable to hacking, either internally (by employees or contractors), or externally – especially when such systems can be accessed through the internet. It’s possible the Firearms Tracing System could be (or has been) hacked and accessed by outsiders (foreign or domestic) for their own purposes – even by terrorists.

BATF continues to expand tracing functions, and are creating more backdoor firearms registration records than ever before. BATF statutory authority must be challenged. Originally, tracing was intended to be handled by occasional phone calls to the manufacturer or importer, followed by calls to the distributer, and finally to the dealer. By demanding that police trace every gun and claiming a need to increase “efficiency” and computerize more records under the guise of the Firearm Tracking System, BATF created a massive backdoor system of registration of firearms, firearm owners and firearm transactions specifically prohibited by 18 U.S.C. 926(a).

The ultimate goal of a firearms tracing system is registration of every new and used firearm and every gun owner. BATF’s Gary L. Thomas, in the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research paper mentioned above, refered to the “Gold Standard” of tracing being “web-based registration”, explicitly and consistently forbidden by Congress. Could this be connected with the anticipated United Nations Gun Control Treaty recently endorsed by Hillary Clinton?

BATF claims these systems are necessary for effective tracing, however, The Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. 926(a)) was not put in place for the convenience of BATF, but specifically to curb BATF abuse, protect American firearms owners, and prevent creating a national firearms registration system. Using legal technicalities and convoluted legal logic, BATF deliberately evaded this law and the appropriations restrictions to justify creating and maintaining backdoor registration systems defying the law and thwarting the Will of Congress and the American People.

Saving all data from erroneous, false, and phony traces, adding mostly innocent multiple gun purchase data and throwing more questionable data into the mix does not improve the quality of the output. Allowing corrupt foreign police traces, and providing output to corrupt foreign police further compounds the problem.

BATF is spending untold millions of taxpayer dollars creating registration (tracing) systems, yet Law Enforcement effectiveness is limited at best, and worthless in many cases. Dr. Paul Blackman put it best in his paper “Uses and Limitations of BATF Tracing Data” in 1998. His conclusion? “Garbage In, Garbage Out”. This old data processing principle describes the fact that computers will unquestioningly process the most nonsensical input data and produce nonsensical output. BATF tries to convince Congress, Law Enforcement, and the American People, that BATF systems produce “Garbage In, Gospel Out”. Such is not the case.

To paraphrase Dr. Blackman: When garbage data is processed (as in BATF Firearms Tracing Systems), garbage will be produced as output. Analyses of tracing data, however performed, are like discussions of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. There is no need to carefully evaluate the data or the analyses; they are worthless. BATF has been forced to publish a disclaimer (the “small print”) with each of their reports which states, “Not all firearms used in crime are traced, and not all firearms traced are used in crime.” Nevertheless, they then go on to refer to traced guns with false and misleading “catch-phrases”. They falsely call every traced gun a “crime gun”. They create meaningless and misleading statistics on “Time to Crime” (in reality “Time to Trace”), mythical most popular crime guns (actually most often traced) and Source States for Recovered Firearms which implies gun trafficking but could be entirely legal interstate used gun transfers or people simply moving to a different state. This government agency is using deliberately misleading phrases and being openly and fundamentally dishonest with Congress and the American People. This is a serious situation.

Perhaps BATF personnel have read “How to Lie with Statistics” by Darrell Huff, written in 1954. Processing garbage data into meaningless statistics is much worse than worthless – it is dishonest and deliberately misleading. By manipulating data, statistics can easily be produced to show whatever BATF wants to show – even patterns of “Gun Trafficking”, “criminal” use of “assault rifles” or “Saturday Night Specials”. Over 100 years ago, Mark Twain said it very well, “Figures don’t lie, but liars do figure”, Lenin went on to say, “A lie told often enough becomes truth”.

Write, call, fax and email your Congressman now! Demand that the BATF comply with the law! Write the NRA and ask for their support.

The US government has now realized the importance to funding the program, even though Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have unified to crush its importance to this nations working force. Too many highly positioned Democrats and even Republicans have destabilized immigration enforcement for too long. Although only funded for a further 3 years E-Verify is being accepted as a way to bring more legal residents and citizens into the job market and severing illegal labor. The momentum of E-Verify will not stop now as bloggers have infiltrated every media outlet from the West to the East coast. Democrats have not entered the main battle lines to push for what they dress-up as Comprehensive Immigration reform? But most Americans are not fooled, knowing full well this is another word–BLANKET AMNESTY? The previous AMNESTY in 1986 was disguised enough, to promote less attention to the act.

Because the majority of the national press is holding back the exact truth, universal bloggers are supplementing the real facts. Most pro-sovereignty groups have not the money-backing of pariah businesses groups, grants of earmarks from corrupt lawmakers or donations from so called tax exempt foundations and organized church. So proponents of Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano and others are limited to grabbing the public attention to the consequences of AMNESTY.

Just today NUMBERSUSA has sent out a warning to their members stating “Massive, Unchecked Immigration Will DESTROY Our Future! But It Doesn’t Have to Occur if We Act Now! For the first 200 years of our country’s history, about 250,000 immigrants migrated to the U.S. But since 1990, 2 MILLION legal and illegal immigrants are migrating to the U.S. PER YEAR. The current U.S. population of 310 million will soar past half a billion around mid-century if immigration is not reduced. We all support immigration in moderation. Many of our friends and co-workers are immigrants themselves. But too much of anything can become–DESTRUCTIVE. Tell Congress that a half-billion is far too many! We already have enough congestion, traffic, overcrowded schools and overburdened healthcare systems as it is. Join with 932,225 citizens who make their voices heard through NumbersUSA, America’s largest-member immigration-reduction organization.”

Amendments to the 1986 act, could import a refined number of highly skilled workers that are required? But not lesser volumes of discount unskilled labor that cannot be recruited from the American people, who are many in our population. Other powerful developed nations can attract highly professional focused workers, without the flotsam that we end up eventually subsidizing. If you remember the last stimulus package was to give jobs to Americans, but as many 300.000 was artfully given to illegal workers?

Don’t procrastinate on this outrageous 2009-2010 Amnesty, as we cannot even feed, house and offer substantial health care to our own poor? We are a debtor to China and other countries, when we once were an influential lender. While our free trade Globalist agreements are completely out of control and corporate owners outsource and in-source cheap labor and in many cases inferior trade goods. INFORM YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMAN/WOMAN AT 202-224-312. NOT TO APPROVE ANOTHER AMNESTY OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES IN THE VOTING BOOTH? MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF SEN. HARRY REID NEXT YEAR AND NANCY PELOSI?

My ex-wife reported me as being deat to the Social Security Administration in Colorado Springs, CO and received $79,000 in payment from September 08- Apirl 09. I found out when I applied for an auto loan and showed up as dead on my credit report. Social Security as of today has not followed up with me and i’m still showing as dead. Had Social Security tried to check for a death entries record they would have found none. It must be great to work for the SSA you show up for work,give away tax payer money and collect a pay check for not doing your job.
