39. The background check system DOES NOT track guns or transfers!!!
NICS is simply a list of prohibited persons. It contains no information whatsoever about the gun or guns being transferred at any time during its operation. The database doesn't have a place to put that information.

There are records of checks that were made, which presently are retained up to 90 days, but those do not even establish that a transfer actually occurred, much less what specific gun or guns were transferred.
