US gun sales pass 1 million a month for 35 consecutive months.

The NTN is actually 27.b on the 2nd page...the upper right on page one is for dealer's 4473 log number.

Example would be for chronological order as of Jan 1st 2022, the very first form filled out could be labeled 1-22, the second 4473 would be 2-22 & so on. This number can then be placed in the disposition book to help locate during inspection or trace request.

The numbers in the report, while impressive need to be taken with a grain of salt. In the last year I have sold 3 guns at auction then bought 2 guns at auction. This generated 5 of the 4473's.

I also have bought 2 guns in private sales, which in TN is still allowed. Those are some of my undocumented children that I foster.

If you believe a shadow government really runs this country. What we are seeing is. They are setting forth the reasons to make people to hord guns, ammo, food. The narratives pushed in unison though the media outlets.

It's like they know a war is likely coming to our soil. So they are setting forth the message that is driving this.

All through the Carter presidency militias were formed given the certainty that war would come to our shores any day now. During the Clinton presidency preppers prepped for various doomsday events that so far haven't transpired.

Eventually became pop culture with the 2011 tv show Doomsday Preppers.

People are reacting to an incompetent government, not a shadow government.

Sabatage governing via the guise of incompetence is what's actually happening...

I believe this is correct. However Biden could be hust a wounded rabbit call. Trying to gather information from the reactions of our enemies.

If not, and everything is as it seems. We really are screwed.

"NICS transaction number," aka, NTN. Goes into the box at the top right of the first page, labeled "Transferor's/Seller's Transaction Serial Number (if any)". I don't know how universal the system is, but at work, it is always assigned a number, no matter if the buyer is using a NICS exempt license or not. It's an 8-digit number, with our store number as the first 4 digits, and the transaction number as the last 4. "XXXX-0001" for instance. Given that the last four digits are sequential, it's how I keep track of how many guns we're selling, or at least creating forms for, over the course of a day. I don't know if this information is submitted with every NICS check, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that certain organizations can and do easily obtain it.

Disclaimer here at the end: I am not an expert, I just fill out the forms every day, and I could be spouting misinformation. If so, I apologize.

No worries. I don't use that box and I don't believe it is transferred via the online or verbal NCIS check. I do few enough 4473's that the date suffices in my doing a book search or information request from the authorities.

If it was incompetent it's main players wouldn't have the 100% of the time no loss streak going.

Absolutely correct. I really need to reread what I type when I'm watching my daughter. The TTSN is the front page, the NTSN is on the 2nd page. Sorry about that.

I'm not sure if it is transmitted via our digital form. I'd hazard a guess that the answer is no, but it is generated at the same time as an NTSN on standard forms. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest for someone at corporate to have the bright idea for that info to be included in the data package, and it be recorded. JUst shady enough for me to believe the Feds would do that.

They lost Roe v Wade, something most of them came to believe was set in stone for all time.
