Multiple purchase flag rant

[Doc45]

Went to a shop to pick up a handgun I had on consignment (sellers remorse lol) knowing full well I had to do the cbi check and fill out the 4473-a pisser but I get it. Well I spotted another handgun that was too good a deal to pass so I said I wanted it. Totally forgot about the multiple handgun purchase bullshit, didn’t realize it until the guys brought out the federal form they have to fill out. All this after the deal was done and paid for. I easily could’ve left my consignment piece another week or two, damn now I’m flagged.

The .gov already knows plenty about me just through being a hard working shmuck, property owner and tax payer. Let alone a legal gun owner/purchaser. We joked I could’ve bought a bunch of longarms (the things bad/crazy people have sadly used in multiple horrible events) without a whisper. Not that we should have to do that either aarrgghh!!

One was a .22 target revolver, the other another revolver in .357 mag (my consigned). I’m sure in the grand scheme of things it’s not much to worry about but it just pisses me off. Not pissed at the shop, though I did say it would’ve been nice to be notified prior to the deal. It’s my own fault especially when I asked about this topic a fairly short time ago right here!! Hey I blame it on just spending 4 days in the hospital. Ugh.
