"I would rather die in a country that is free, than live in a country that isn't!"
Probably the best quote I've heard these past several weeks! BRAVO!
Who is this guy? I have no idea what he's saying right now.
ETA: It's making more sense now. I like the "plastic and springs" line. :)
The 4473 does have the type, manf, and serial of the firearm. It doesn't get passed to cbi of nics, but it's on the 4473.

If a firearm is traced, the go to the manf, then the distributor, etc etc, till they get to the first retail sale. After which, the trail mayl go cold, if the orig retail buyer sold, lost, gifted, or transfered.
In regards to the 4473, that is a federal form, the state has no legal right to access that form.
Not that that will necessarily stop anything, but there are some barriers in place which prevent CO from accessing those forms wholesale.
