FFL Questions

I initially read a Reddit/Firearms post on whether it’s important who spends the money on a firearm versus whose name is on the 4473. Here is the thread.
I hope this isn’t a stupid question, I have payed for a gun as a gift for someone else, so can they fill out the 4473 as it is/going to be theirs?

Yes you can. Anyone saying no doesn’t know what they are talking about.

The 4473 asks if you are the actual buyer OR transferee. If it’s a gift then they are the actual transferee.
When I read that I said out loud to myself, “That’s the right answer.”
In order more fully to explain this, he makes an updated discussion thread where he explains more. This is that discussion thread.
FFLs don’t need to give one whit where the money comes from. As long as they are transferring the firearm to the transferee on the Form 4473, it’s legal.
Now, just to remind everyone, all gun control laws are unconstitutional. All of them, with no exceptions.

Fortunately I live in Tenneessee where some forms of government still work right. I have been making judicious use of my time recently.
