Yeah they insinuate that R&B Guns in Virginia just sat there for years
selling thousands of gun to criminals with no NICS traces.
I know of an FFL Store that misplaced four 4473 forms out of 15000
and lost its FFL license.

Mayors press Congress over gun trace law

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 200 U.S. mayors urged Congress on Tuesday
to stop "pandering" to the gun lobby and repeal an amendment that they say
makes it harder for police to trace illegal firearms carried between states.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent mentioned as a possible
presidential contender, helped lead the uphill bid to eliminate the
amendment ahead of a vote on it this week by the House Appropriations
Committee.

a.. The Mayors Against Illegal Guns group, which says it has more than 225
mayors representing 50 million constituents, wants Congress to strike down
the Tiahrt Amendment, a measure attached to a law enforcement funding bill
every year since 2003.
The amendment, which imposes confidentiality limits on firearms trace data
compiled by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,
is named for Rep. Todd Tiahrt, the Kansas Republican who first sponsored it.
Tiahrt had no immediate comment on the drive against it, a spokesman said.
But Bloomberg, flanked by mayors and police officers on Capitol Hill,
declared, "The Tiahrt Amendment is the most anti-cop, soft-on-crime law
Congress has passed in years."
"It prevents our police officers from tracking the illegal gun trade, and
locking up those who engage in it," he said, adding that the September 11
attacks had shown the importance of all agencies sharing information at a
federal and local level.
Yet supporters of the amendment appeared to have the votes to preserve the
measure in a Congress reluctant to take on the powerful gun lobby.
Backers of the amendment say it aims to provide sensitive information on gun
tracing just to law enforcement agencies and to keep it out of the hands of
politicians and special interest groups. They say opening up the database
more widely endangers undercover police and investigations.
Bloomberg said that how the House handles the amendment would be a test of
the new Democrat-led Congress.
