Clarify this for me ......

this 4473 thing is something that happens on the planet Earth as well as your sphere, or, is it simply a product of your own planet from a galaxy far, far away?

4473?

[seeker41]

Have you been doing the 420? I have no idea what you are talking about.

[Polycarp]

Most here are pro-2nd amendment, but everybody does not know what the 4473 is.

I'd have to say 508,307-A

Hope this helps.

Sounds like an infringement of the right to keep and bear arms.

Is doing the 4473 thing once in a while really a bad thing for you?

Not as bad as illegal gun transactions.

However, if you think "it would be near impossible to organize and digitize millions of these little forms into a national database" just remember that Hitler eliminated 7 million Jews not with supercomputers and databases but with SS agents and pencils and little notepads.

25 or 624

Ping for your thoughts on 4473s and "virtual registration".

[zx2dragon]

Do a search. I believe it was last year that the ATF had to be taken to court in order to stop them from going into gun shops and scanning the forms into their laptops. A direct violation of the law.

I've bought, sold, and traded more guns with individuals than I can count. In fact out of all the guns I've ever owned only 2 were purchased from licensed dealers. I've never asked anyone to fill out this form and have never been asked to myself. I live in a rural area and most trades take place over CB or the local traders guides. A lot of times I don't even know the name of the person I sell or buy from. Most of the time I will agree on a price and meet the seller or buyer and an arraigned location. Nothing shady just the way business is done in the country.

Is doin' the 4473 really a bad thing?

If you don't mind the traffic. I usually do 337 to 40 and get off at exit 174.

I suggest partying like its 1999.

[Billthedrill]

23 skidoo.

For those who suspect that scanning millions of such forms presents a technical challenge to the federal government, I have some bad news. It is neither difficult nor, I would be willing to bet, untried. What they do with this information is problematic, but the chances are high that it's out there. Data aren't always immortal, but it's the way to bet.

[matrix]

Sure, Big Brother puts you in a data base! Get real!

[Texaggie79]

I don't know about the 4473 but the 6583 scares the sh!t out of me......

[Copernicus]

I've done it, now I regret it. It is a form of prior restraint,registration, guilty until proven innocent, Unconstitutional, unnecessary and just plain wrong.

Other than that I have no comment.
