I didn't see anything in the article about a new database for handgun buyers, unless you're referring to the snip quoted in red below. As of right now, it does not exist. It will supposedly be part of the "reforms" that the Obama administration will propose. My guess is the "paper trail" will be stripped from the proposal by congress.
You are right. I translated "electronic paper trail" into database in my head cause that is what I think they mean. Good thing that like you say, congress will strip this out.
But in a nod to the difficulties of getting legislation through a Republican-run House of Representatives, only executive orders or administrative actions -- and not an actual bill -- are expected to be handed to Congress.
