\"Republican
President Joe Biden is looking for ways to stick it to gun owners. Many pro-2A advocates believe a backdoor gun registry at the ATF is one such tactic. (Photo: Whitehouse.gov\/Youtube)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX) introduced a bill this week that would prevent the federal government from compiling a backdoor gun registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known as the \u201cNo Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your (REGISTRY) Rights Act<\/a>,\u201d it would require the federal government to destroy firearms transaction records of gun shops (FFLs) that have gone out of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the government stores these records indefinitely. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden administration continues to threaten the rights of law-abiding Americans.

Texas gun owners are rightfully concerned that this administration is willing and able to create a federal gun registry, and it\u2019s Congress\u2019 job to ensure that doesn\u2019t happen. https:\/\/t.co\/f151tPnjvM<\/a><\/p>— Congressman Michael Cloud (@RepCloudTX) March 8, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s estimated that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has approximately 1 billion firearms transaction records in its possession, as GunsAmerica previously reported<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly, 94 percent of those records have been digitized.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ATF disclosed this information about the capture of sales records just last month, after a back and forth with concerned lawmakers<\/a>, which is undoubtedly what prompted Rep. Cloud to pen the REGISTRY Rights Act, along with the forty-four other Republicans who co-sponsored the legislation. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill would also block the ATF from changing a longstanding regulation that allows FFLs to destroy sales records after 20 years. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ATF is pushing to force FFLs to hang on to all their sales records indefinitely, which means that unless a gun store stays open forever, eventually, all records will end up in the hands of the federal government.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Biden administration continues to threaten the rights of law-abiding Americans while turning a blind-eye to criminals and corruption,\u201d Cloud said in a statement to The Texan<\/a><\/em>. \u201cTexas gun owners are rightfully concerned that this administration is willing and able to create a federal gun registry, and it\u2019s Congress\u2019 job to ensure that doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy bill would dismantle ATF\u2019s database as a whole\u2014restoring privacy for American gun owners and reversing the steps taken by the Biden administration to create a federal firearms registry,\u201d Cloud continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation would also require the ATF to disclose the number of records it destroys per the bill. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-sponsors include Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX-21), Jake Ellzey (R-TX-06), Randy Weber (R-TX-14), Louie Gohmert (R-TX-01), Ronny Jackson (R-TX-13) and Brian Babin (R-TX-36).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of steam, if any, it generates in the Democratically-controlled House. We’ll keep you posted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
