P.S. - 4473s aren't yellow anymore, unless you are filling out the Spanish version.

I guess it really isn't all that cool to always wear yellow lensed shooting glasses to the toy store.

Perhaps that's why I hadn't noticed the color change.


The point I unsuccessfully tried to make was:
What's to stop the B.A.T.F.E. from adding questions to the form then prosecuting gun purchasers for lying on a government form.

Can they prosecute you for lying about your height and weight?

What if you've always thought you were part Indian (because of family stories) then find out later you're not? Is that lying on a government form?


When I asked about getting them to limit the questions, I was thinking lawsuits or federal legislation.

Just asking a dumb question.

Abramski said the gun was for him.
He lied.
But the statute was written to prevent a lawful gun owner from purchasing a gun for someone who could not lawfully purchase a firearm.
Both people involved were lawful gun owners.

Is there a way to limit question on the 4473 (or any other government form), to questions that are part of the statute?

What if they were to ask
What color is your hair? (What if it's more grey now?)
What is your favorite movie? (What if you change your mind?)
What is the name of the county of your father's birth?
What is your mothers maiden name?
