[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1681511, member: 9308"] I know what you are talking about. I googled and found this: [B]Federal law defines a “multiple sale” as the sale of two or more guns to the same purchaser within five business days.[/B] But that doesn't say anything about reporting requirements. Then I found this: [B]Federal law does not limit the number of guns a person may buy in any given time period. However, federal law does require federal firearm licensees (“FFLs”) to report multiple sales of handguns to ATF and other specified law enforcement agencies. This reporting requirement was created to enable law enforcement to “monitor and deter illegal interstate commerce in pistols and revolvers by unlicensed persons,” though there is no federal requirement that law enforcement actually investigate illegal trafficking. In addition, because long guns have become Mexican cartels’ “weapons of choice,” in 2011 ATF began requiring FFLs in four states along the Mexican border ([U]Arizona[/U], [U][I]California[/I][/U], [U]New Mexico[/U], and [I][U]Texas[/U][/I]) to report multiple sales of certain semiautomatic rifles. More specifically, the reporting requirement applies to semiautomatic rifles with a caliber [U][I]greater than .22[/I][/U] and the ability to accept a detachable magazine. FFLs who are dealers or pawnbrokers [SIZE=5][U]must report to ATF whenever they sell or transfer two or more such weapons to the same person at one time or during any five consecutive business days[/U][/SIZE].[/B] [/QUOTE]
