It's possible, yes. But my understanding is that the only way the WV site gets the hardcopy 4473, which they can digitize, is when the FFL from whom you bought your heater goes out of business and has to send the hardcopies to WV.jb2012 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2019 12:08 pm I knew from the moment I filled out a 4473 for the first time, that it could later be easily used as a registration tool, or a means of tracking me.
I mean come on, you’re filling out federal documents with all of your information, a serial number and description of the firearm.
So, if you bought your firearm from someplace that's still in business, ATF may peruse your 4473 at that FFL, but they would not have a chance to digitize it and put it into any sort of electronic data retrieval system.
