That only works to the first purchaser. After that, not so much. That is why they want so called universal background checks. It's to build a registry of who has what.
But rest assured, if you've ever posted a picture, talked about online, emailed someone about buying a gun, they know
You shouldn't post personal pictures on social media, period. You're aiding people who want to hurt you in so many ways. The last picture of me on social was when I had a beard. I don't have a beard anymore. (Also, I can't really anymore with the CPAP so not even a choice.) Better that I don't have an updated picture.
The above works for the first purchaser. After that, any used guns sold in states that require a background check are also on the list.
I've heard stories of ATF copying/scanning 4473s during compliance inspections.
I assume .gov knows what I have and try to keep a low enough profile that they don't have a reason to come for me.
I do not think I have ever posted a full picture of myself on line. A few here in there of me in costume or masked.
Honestly with all the comms we all have daily, they know who we are and where. I'm not looking to hurt anyone, so I doubt they have interest in me or quite frankly most of us.
However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be in "close contact" with one another. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but at some point things could start ratcheting down. We should all take pause at that possibility.
I have hundreds online and I do not give one rip what they know or do not know..... If they want you they will get you no matter what. My cousin was the chief of detectives under Higgins, he could sit in front of your house and hear every word you spoke inside.
