BATFE Form 4473 vs. CO Amendment 64

[BPTactical]

Regardless of what the State law or State Constitution may say, firearms are regulated at the Federal level.
As long as the Ganj is prohibited federally then you are in violation of Federal law.

Very clear cut.


While I get the impetus of 64 it is a symbolic win only. The Fed will withhold funds and have a boot on Hicks neck.

...Very clear cut.

While I agree with you that it SHOULD be clear cut, AND that when considering it from a legal (fed vs. state form) perspective it IS pretty clear, I'll ask:

Is everyone that buys or sells guns a "lawyer" or "sufficiently familiar" with the laws and differences in state law vs. federal law (the question is ARE they familiar, not SHOULD THEY BE familiar)?

I don't think so...and that is where I think some confusion and perhaps confrontation will occur.

EX: Even our good friend at Gunsmoke, an FFL, had trouble interpreting the definition of "buyer" on form 4473. (Is it one that is in the PROCESS of buying or is it one that has ALREADY BOUGHT...)
