Can ATF remove or copy records of firearms purchases from FFLs?

Published a new article on ATFs right to remove and copy firearms transfer records from FFLs.  


Under certain circumstances, ATF Officers can copy or remove records from FFLs that contain information about purchasers of firearms.  Concerns have been raised regarding the propriety of this action, as some believe that ATF is keeping a permanent record of persons who purchase firearms in the United States. 

The article explains ATFs policy, the law and regulations pertaining, and links to documents from ATF responding the the concerns of U.S. representative Don Young about alleged improper seizing of records by ATF.  The response from ATF addresses the issue of keeping permanent records as well.
