This was passed to me and I thought it should be posted. I do know this form can be done electronically because I had an FFL shop require that, no paper allowed but it seems there are some changes that will be taking place. We now have Feds trumping state laws. I do wonder how that will work. New FFL Form 4473 for Background Checks Incoming New FFL Form 4473 for Background Checks Incoming Another article on the revised form.... ATF Form 4473 Firearms Transaction Record Has Been Revised
No real difference, they just state the position I think everyone knew. I will say the idiotic comments are sort of fun.
Marijuana isn't a drug. The move to criminalize the sovereign citizenry has gone on long enough. Please stop believing the social programming which includes labeling cannabis as a drug. The fact remains that folks will have to answer this form and do so honestly unless the thugs conduct their search of databases and find John Smith is a legal weed user in the State he resides. Then it's a simple matter of raiding John's home and stealing his guns, which he obtained "illegally" according to the tyrants. Naturally, if they kill John in the process, all the better for the corporate militarized police. Stop believing the Federal Government is vindicated in anything it does. It is a crime syndicate. As for my local Ma and Pa shop --they feel the same way I do. Molon Labe.
Interesting, Section D. If a buyer fails background check, or seller decides not to transfer the firearm, The firearm info is still recorded. Very interesting.
They have already started comparing the CCL list with the medical marijuana list here in many counties. Our last sheriff resisted the move, but I just don't know about the current one.
It's problematic, for sure. Granted, this is clearly a move to restrict gun ownership given the recent additions to the states on the list of legalizing marijuana, which provides the impetus. I don't see a move to raid peoples homes yet, but I am not counting it out, either. The 4473's are supposed to be kept on file for 20 years, but who knows how many "accidental fires" may result if these draconian laws come into place. Always support Constitutional sheriff's, if they are on our side.
As an FFL, I have to be very careful, about who I can Allow, to live with Me, in my place... We don't have guests, often, but When we do, they stay in a separate building.... If there is any question, at all, the answer is NO.... We could NOT afford to lose the FFL, or our Gun Rights, due to this conflict in State & Federal Statutes.
I am more concerned with those taking prescription anti depressants than someone recreationally smoking pot. Unless that pot smoker uses a firearm to steal twinkies and potato chips at the local 7/11....
Agreed, people who are on some of those mind altering anti depressants or anti crazy drugs are way more dangerous then those who habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes.
