If you’re buying from a dealer, it really doesn’t matter. Hell, I figure they been tracking them since Bush 1 was President.
Private sales is another matter, but then suppose you bought a .220 Swift from a buddy.
That’s clear, right? But did you buy dies or brass online with a credit card?
They’ve been tracking all that stuff, probably for longer than we wanna think about.
All the more reason to support your LGS with cash.
I try to avoid paying for anything gun related with anything other than cash.
Sometimes it’s unavoidable, things ain’t available locally and you gotta go online.
But I try to keep that to a minimum.
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you!
