I wish they'd reduce something on the front page so at least the transferee could sign at the bottom of the form on the first page. Also, remove a bunch of the silly questions and have a big box at the top that says, "If you have a CHL enter the number here and just sign at the bottom". The half a dozen boxes dealing with NICS denials, delays, etc. operator ID numbers etc should be gotten rid of and just fix the background check process. It should be more like a credit card transaction. Immediate yes/no answer. Most of my calls are taking 20 minutes on hold these days. Unacceptable. View Quote Really? I did it yesterday and it took about ten minutes from "can I see your license?" to "have a nice day". |

What kind of information?

So with an Electronic 4473 the ATF for the 1st time will have real time access to the serial # of the future firearms purchased WTF?? Are you serious? They want serial numbers now? This is registration. 4473 already has serial number on it I thought. |

Estimated public burden, 9 million hours.
Must be part of the paperwork reduction act |

They are probably doing this to push you toward getting your CCW that way they have a pic and prints on file. With my CCW I don't have to do the background check. Not all states require a pic and prints for a CCW. Just pics here and no background check with CCDW. |

Hopefully they'll add a box for me to include the content of my prayers.

Honestly, it looks like they're asking the OMB (and the public) to comment on the current process, including how long it actually takes to process the current form. I've read it a couple of times, and it's not clear that they're proposing changes to the 4473 yet. If anything, based on what they're asking the OMB to comment on, they'd be looking to simplify the form. The most obvious inference from the proposal, is a request for the OMB to suggest ways in which the ATF can speed the process up on their end, through "appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses". View Quote I know how to simplify the form. It's very easy. You just require the same amount of application fees, paperwork, and provisions as you do when you exercise your 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Amendment rights, or the rights recognized therein as free from government abuse. The whole FFL system, 4473, and ATF are unconstitutional by their very nature, and need to be abolished. |

There is a thing called "value of time and road user cost" used in the bidding of DOT projects. In short, it assesses a value to delay caused by construction to better compare bid proposals. Shut the whole road down and detour people twenty miles 24/7 vs work one lane at a time at night. The former is going to obviously effect a lot more people and generate a lot more delay to the individuals using the road.
Texas assigned a value of $22.09/hour of delay (this is simply for time, no mileage, fuel or anything else so it is a decent measure of what a person's time is worth on average.) So using the ATF estimated time for just the individuals filling out the form, they are okay with racking up ~$202,000,000 worth of time from the firearm buying public annually, which does not take into account the FFL's time and .gov administration. |

This is registration. 4473 already has serial number on it I thought. Correct - section "D," number 28. HOWEVER - that info is never given to the NICS. Further, it isn't given to the ATF until after the FFL goes out of business. If the 4473 form (the form itself) becomes an "electronic document" then the serial number WOULD BE given to ATF and/or NICS. ATF is barred by law from maintaining a computerized database. There is no penalty for violating that law. |

Does this mean when it's published we only have 60 days for a comment period to try and shove the proposal up their ass for the next 5 years?

I thought laws recently passed prohibited the keeping of records of firearm purchases by the federal government.

If you call NICS you'll hear the "high call volumes blurb etc". It's been taking a long time. When you say license do you mean driver's or CHL. If CHL then yes you wouldn't experience the wait since you don't need the BG check.

This might be a big "stick it to gun owners". Or it might just be a minor change and the 30 minutes includes the average reading, comprehension and data collection for a person that has never filled out a 4473. This is more than likely accurate. This is on the current 4473 The estimated average burden associated with this collection is 30 minutes per
respondent or recordkeeper, depending on individual circumstances. Exactly.

Do some of you guys realize this happens all the time with Govt. forms ????
It's "SOP for the OMB" ....... I couldn't tell you the number of times 4473's have been changed in my 30 years of buying guns.......Form 1's and Form 4's have been changed at least 10 times in that time period though..... If you want to believe that it's happening as the result of a secret executive order signed by Obama at the request of the ATF, the Bilderbergers, and the Holy Roman Emperor that's up to you....... |

If you lose the two casings that came with your new gun plan on prison. What are you talking about? Most pistols come with two spent casings in a sealed envelope for states that require the dealer to send spent casings to the government before a sale. Not an issue in freer States... Yet. |
