The ATF’s New Form 4473

Here are three good reviews of the new form, admittedly a bit wordy in places, but make sure not to miss the nuance. They all seem to add different things to the full analysis.
I guess the moral of the story is to be very careful in the future what you say, what you sign, and how your purchase your firearms. Not that you aren’t already so, but increased diligence is required in the future.
In particular, I don’t like the question asking where you are within the city limits where you reside. I also see this as fomenting the upcoming war between the DOJ/ATF and local, county and state law enforcement over the 2A, with the former pressing increased infringements, and the later exercising nullification. I’ve told you to watch out for this as the movement expands and increases over the country. And expand it will, you can be sure.

The fact that this level of analysis is required to understand what should be a simple form (or not exist in the first place!) is a good example of what’s wrong with our society.

The NICS denial notification act seems like the kind of thing that will eventually be used to have every purchase get a visit by police. This is a clear violation of the law, but laws are for you, not them.

The new form and it’s changes are being promulgated for one reason. To entrap honest citizens. They WANT people to make errors in filling out the form so they can turn honest people into felons. It’s JUST THAT SIMPLE.
