I understand the principles involved better than you seem to understand.
What someone tells you over the phone is not legal advice, unless such person is your lawyer, or a district or US attorney.
I do not advocate flouting or ignoring the laws of Colorado or the United States. Your essential fallacy is inferring that the "decent advice" give you by a "contractor" constitutes rock bottom legal principle.
I am not conducting my businesses, or basing my knowledge, on what a call to the ATF branch tells me. I actually read the relevant federal code, and temper my advice with real-world experience against the platitudes and rules of thumb given me over the phone.
I'm sorry if that's too hard for you. Life isn't necessarily easy.
