Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
The issue I've faced in the past with this is, the local DA believes the 4473 is a federal form and should be prosecuted at the federal level; the AUSA's won't touch these as they are petty felonies in their eyes and don't meet their threshold for prosecution. It is very frustrating to try to work such a case and not get any support.Originally Posted by SA Friday

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Yep. Meant AUSA and typed DA... Getting old sucks.
I've discussed this same problem with straw purchases and trying to get them prosecuted in other threads. Ultimately, gun control isn't the current problem. We have more than enough laws on the books, hell, too many. The problem is these are just not prosecuted due to a serious lack of Federal court system. Unintended consequence is it looks to the liberals like we need more laws. They just haven't learned it will make no difference.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
An easy way to make the law more applicable and enforceable would be to have a state level form that mirrors the federal 4473. I wish I could say replace the federal form, but that isn't going to happen.

Dear Baby Jesus in heaven, don't give them any ideas. Went through that shit in MD. It took over an hour to fill all the forms out.
