NRA-ILA has recently received several calls from NRA members in
border states who have been visited or called by agents of the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. In some cases, agents
have asked to enter these people's homes, and requested serial numbers
of all firearms the members possess.
In each case, the agents
were making inquiries based on the number of firearms these NRA members
had recently bought, and in some cases the agents said they were asking
because the members had bought types of guns that are frequently
recovered in Mexico.
Some of the agents have used heavy-handed tactics.
