The draft demand letter:
Dear Federal Firearms Licensee:
The Federal firearms law provides that when required by letter issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), licensees shall submit to ATF all records information required by the GCA or such lesser information as may be specified in the letter. The information requested must be provided in the format specified and for the periods and at the times specified in the letter. 18 U.S.C. 923(g)(5), 27 C.F.R. 478.126.
As part of the Southwest Border Firearms Trafficking/Violence Initiative, ATF is requiring
licensed dealers and pawnbrokers in California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico to submit information concerning multiple sales of certain rifles. You must submit to ATF reports of multiple sales or other dispositions whenever you sell or otherwise dispose of, at one time or during any five consecutive business days, two or more semi-automatic rifles capable of accepting a detachable magazine, and with a caliber greater than .22 to an unlicensed person.
This requirement becomes effective upon receipt of this letter and you are required to submit these multiple sales reports for a period of 1 year.
The required information must be submitted on ATF Form 3310.12, Report of Multiple Sales or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles, no later than the close of business on the day the multiple sale or other disposition takes place. We have enclosed a copy of Form 3310.12 with this letter.
Additional forms may be obtained from the ATF Distribution Center, 1519 Cabin Branch Drive, Landover, MD 20785, (301) 583-4696, or online at
www.atf.gov.
Be advised that, in addition to the information required by this letter, licensees are still required to submit reports of multiple sales or other dispositions when the licensee sells two or more pistols or revolvers, or any combination of pistols or revolvers totaling two or more to an unlicensed person at one time or during any five consecutive business days. 18 U.S.C. 923(g) (3). Reports of multiple sales or other dispositions of handguns must be reported on ATF Form 3310.4, Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Pistols and Revolvers, and must be submitted separately from the information required by this letter.
If you have any questions, please contact the National Tracing Center at 1-800-788-7133.
