As a gunsmith and FFL holder for 34 years I have witnessed a bewildering contortion of the record keeping requirements legislated by the 1968 GCA. The BATF has regulated the record keeping requirements for firearms sales and ownership transfers into a complicated time wasting, productivity crippling, career jeopardizing nightmare for identifying firearms owned by someone else left for repair. I am requesting an Executive Order stating that a customer repair tag attached to the firearm suffice for identifying it as a repair and keeping the firearm and current owner from being entered into a firearms record, that laws dictate firearms acquired for sale or ownership transfer must be entered into. This petition is intended to preserve a gunsmithing heritage in America for future generations .
