NEWS FLASH - JUST ARRIVED TODAY FROM DPS
And DPS goes after firearms dealers and individuals who don’t keep up with their paperwork!
This problem existed in fiscal years when there was $500,000,000 left over at the end of the year!

Mr. Peruta:
Iappreciate it. Here’s what I have been advised by SLFU staff:
There were 3125 letters sent out originally on 10/7/09, then new letters were sent to the same people the next week with an explanatory cover letter. The total number of missing DPS-3s (currently) is 10927. Because the system only keeps a running total, I cannot account for those DPS-3s that have been turned in between 10/7 and today, and therefore now do not show up on the list of outstanding authorization numbers. The oldest authorization number for which we sent a reminder letter was from June, 2000.
DPS has known that not all DPS-3s have been returned, but SLFU recently completed entering a substantial back-log of DPS-3s, and the completion of that task prompted the letters to go out for those that remained unaccounted for after all the DPS-3s had been entered into the system. DPS has no record of receiving DPS-3s that were not properly accounted for. Authorization numbers and submission of DPS-3s are not required for private sales of long guns.
I trust this response answers your questions.
