Re: Red Dawn (movie) and Form 4473

I was surprised that the forms are that old, in fact in Wikipedia it says, "These forms are given the same status as a tax return under the Privacy Act of 1974."
ATF Form 4473 (not sure if that was the name originally) was introduced as a result of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which prohibited interstate transfers of firearms without going through an FFL.

There is a Red Dawn remake in the works (ChiComs rather than Ruskies); I wonder if that scene will make it in.
