Just to prove how they are working on that incrementalism, the minimum amount to trigger reporting a check to the feds is now $1,000. I suspect it to be the same for EFT and cash amounts as well.surprise_i'm_armed wrote:This is a nefarious plan by the gun dealers of Nevada, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana
to increase their sales volumes! :-)
By the way, even though paperwork may be filed, there can be no effect if no ATF types are following up.
Some years ago, the Feds required banks to file documents whenever anyone made a deposit = or > $10,000 in cash.
They stumbled across a money launderer during a criminal investigation. He had routinely been making deposits big
enough to have these documents filed.
The banks he was using were filing all the proper documentation - but nobody was monitoring the paperwork!!
I'd like to think the same thing will happen with the new paper trail. Of course the NRA lawsuit may stop this, but later.

Re: BO and DOJ continue
<sarcasm>The only reason they want this new reporting rule is to see who the competition is for supply the cartels with guns, after all it's hurting their business.</sarcasm>
Actually multiple transaction reports are kept on file and I believe that they are not required to be destroyed which gives the government a de-facto (although incomplete) registry. After they get this the next step is to expand it to the other 46 states, then get reporting of single handgun/rifle sales in the "4 border states", and finally getting that expanded to all fifty which will result in a registry of all guns transferred through FFLs. We are fighting incrementalism, and the enemy is very patient.
