Guns bought from FFLs require a NICS background check that is stored in an ATF database

NICS checks are not stored. Or at least they're not supposed to be. The firearms info is collected on a form 4473 in paper and kept at the FFL where the firearm is purchased.

But the ATF has been caught several times collecting these records and digitizing them in an attempt to create a registry.
