Anti-gun piece from the usual suspects.

All the ATF has to do is request a trace from the dealer after the fact, or SOME agency could put them on a prohibited purchaser list and they could not get a purchase approved.

A database of terrorist gun purchasers would also be a list of non-terrorist purchasers, which could come in handy for other, unconstitutional purposes.

OTOH, if a Major should not be able to purchase a firearm, should he have a clearance, or a commission, and be treating Soldiers?
