    I have not actually seen the text of the private sale law yet. I've gotten my info from a couple of knowledgeable people that do their best to keep up with the legislature.

    So I don't know yet if there's actually any reporting requirement. But I agree the law is toothless without it. Supposedly in Dona Ana county the cops are allowed to ask "where did you get your gun" if they pull you over and see a firearm in your vehicle, but you are not under any obligation to answer the question.
    I just got off the phone with two different gun dealers in Albuquerque, and they indicated there is no reporting of anything to the State. Their records in their bound books are between them and the ATF. State has no input on this.

    Their feeling is that once this goes into effect, at some point in the future they will say this is not working and try some kind of registration bill. Both dealers predict a huge amount of non-compliance.

    Could be a bellweather for the proposed semi-auto and standard cap mag ban. I will not state publicly what I will do before I surrender my AR's, but you can best believe that it's on my mind.
