Hey, I've got an interesting question about the form 4473 that we all fill out when doing our background NCIS checks.
I recently picked up this sweet Remington 700 tactical in .308, and while I was waiting to hand the clerk my payment, I noticed that he had put all the pertinent information about my purchase on page 3 of the form and am curious...is this for their records to show proof of transfering the weapon in question from their inventory? I can understand if the information is needed to show proof of purchase of said firearm to clear it off of the firearms dealers inventory sheet, but couldnt this information be used by Unkie Sam, and all the political gun grabbers to create an ad-hoc registration system?
Are there rules in place that prevent BATFE agents from confiscating, copying, or obtaining these forms to create such a illegal list so that they can match a particulare gun to a particular owner? And to further this question, is the information that they put on this 4473, the reason the gun-grabbers want to stop all gun show and private sales of firearms, because they know without a 4473, they cant track where these firearms are?
Just curious. If anyone has any information about this, please let me know the real reason this information is on my 4473.
