ALL states REQUIRE you to be 21 years of age to buy a pistol (handgun) AND SOME states (for all extensive purposes)semi-auto "assault rifle".
When calling NICS (at least here in MN) an AR is to be considered a "PISTOL" or Handgun for age verification purposes only...THEY DO NOT ASK for the make model or serial number. Steyr...I NEVER said they asked for the model, so your comments were not neccesary.
If you buy a boltgun or non "AW", they say "long gun", if you buy a shotgun, they say "shotgun".
From the ATF...
"""(P45) Do FFLs have to keep a copy of ATF Form 4473 if the transaction is denied or for some other reason is not completed? [Back]
FFLs must keep a copy of each ATF Form 4473 for which a NICS check has been initiated, regardless of whether the transfer of the firearm was made. If the transfer is not made, the FFL must keep the Form 4473 for 5 years after the date of the NICS inquiry. If the transfer is made, [red]the FFL must keep the Form 4473 for 20 years after the date of the sale or disposition.[/red] Forms 4473 with respect to a transfer that did not take place must be separately maintained.""""
Fine, call me all sorts of names. At least I have the curiosity to go find answers and debate them Till I DO KNOW more. There are a LOT of FFLs around HERE (Minnesota)that dont seem to know shit. You know, the ones that say it's illegal to put a folding stock on a pump shotgun and crap like that.
Im the one cruising around the ATF site when the rest of you are looking at porn.
I know a TRUE assault weapon is a machine gun, so tell me why the gov. still calls a semi-auto AR an "assault weapon"?
