Personally I am concerned that they have the info - but more importantly, that they sent the letter publicly (mail isn't necessarily private, it can fall into anyone's hands - by mistake or on purpose).

With handgun registration, DOJ info is passed to LE agencies. If you're pulled over driving, the LEO can look up if you own registered handguns or RAWs They do not have this information for long guns, unless they were voluntarily registered with the DOJ. I believe information submitted for background checks is legally required to be deleted within a given time frame after the transaction specifically to prevent defacto registration of long guns. All this changes in 2014. But I believe it currently is a legal violation if the DOJ is storing or passing on long gun transfer records.
