Laws on the books

I agree. This is the first time I’ve heard of someone actually being arrested for lying on their form 4473. Not saying it never happens. Just I don’t recall seeing it in the news.

    It happens every so often, but most Denied statuses do get off scot free. It’s only 0.7% that even result in arrests ~11k arrests / 1.5 million denied status).

    But not every denied status is proof of illegal activity. A sizable number of Denied individuals successfully appeal their denied status, in the area of whole percentiles. The law also requires individuals to “knowingly” lie on the form 4473, making the prosecution of some other actions difficult to prosecute or not in violation of the law.

    It’s still not very common even when you factor that in..

    I think review of denied 4473 forms would be a ripe, ripe apple hanging very low for any local DA who wanted to make a mark on local illegal gun users. I have long wondered why this is NOT the case, especially when Brady types trumpet the huge numbers of “illegal gun sales stopped.”

    first time ive ever heard of it too… i wonder how they are going to prove that it was intentional… and maybe this guy has enough money to successfully appeal it upwards to challenge Lautenberg… cus it sure looks like this guy was deprived his second amendment right without being convicted of a crime…

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
