Last I heard from my FFL friend, the ROS database is back logged by 3-4 years!
I know I posted something about this some time back, but my hackles are up again:

I was listening to the radio when Upper Darby Police Superintendent Mike Chitwood was being interviewed following an arrest. As closely as I can recall, he stated plainly, "the perp/suspect/guy had 8 handguns registered to him" and that's why they sent such a large uniformed presence to...retrieve...him.

A) It's *NOT* a registry.

2) How many guns could he use at once? Unless he's Wyat Earp, Rooster Cogburn, or Will Muny only 1 is gonna be any kind of issue at one time.

3rd) Don't matter how many guns he's got if'n he's got enough boolits for your crew.
