Gun Group Loses Challenge to ATF Tracking Near Mexico

The NSSF and two gun dealers sued the BATFE over the requirement that states that border Mexico report multiple sales of semi-auto rifles, claiming it violated a ban on creating a national firearms registry. A three judge panel today rejected that argument.

From the opinion:
The ATF’s reporting demand from about 8,500 dealers in Texas, California, New Mexico and Arizona “required information on only a small number of transactions” and “does not come close to creating a ‘national firearms registry,’” U.S. Circuit Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson wrote in the 30-page opinion.
So, apparently, partial registration is okay as long as it doesn't cover the entire nation..... :banghead:
