Did I just read it will take an estimated 30 minutes to fill out the new form?

A half hour to complete it? Goddamn, it takes me about 2 minutes.

I'm sure this is gun owner friendly and will expedite the whole gun buying process.

Its probably designed to confuse and deny the gun buying process.

That is probably the amount of time it would take an hourly wage government employee to fill it out.

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.

30 minutes to fill out the public response or the revised form 4473?
Link Posted: 4/6/2016 9:52:25 AM EDT

If it truly takes 30min to fill out the only possible benefit would be for me to rethink my purchase and save my money.

But on a truly serious note, FATF two times.

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.

I'm sure people were not happy about record sales month after month after month. So their bright idea was to make it more difficult to try to slow down sales.

So, they're going to basically ban all firearms in NJ then. Since we aren't allowed to obtain a CCW here because we're barely allowed gun ownership.

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.

Isn't the 4473 required on purchase from an FFL?
Even with a LTC here you still are required to fill out the 4473.

This is more than likely accurate.

The estimated average burden associated with this collection is 30 minutes per
respondent or recordkeeper, depending on individual circumstances.


Oh so a govt 30min? Not a normal person 30min? Well they should specify.

Exactly. It takes us only a few minutes because we have the info and answers down pat, imagine if you had never done one before and decided to read the entire thing.

If anything is marked wrong or misspelled then the buyer is disqualified and can now face charges for inaccurately filling out a very complicated form.

This is the federal govt after all. I would guess this non-registration form will now have you list each and every gun you have EVER owned whether during or prior to the 4473 time span.

Just saying it is going to be part of the next Obama executive order.

I know I shouldn't give them ideas!!

Thanks to some liberal anti-gun attorney a lot of FFL's in my area have been spooked into running NICS on purchasers even if they have a CHL that exempts them.

I am not one of those FFL's.

I can't remember the last time I actually read it. Done so many I just fill in the blanks, check the appropriate boxes, sign, show ccw permit and hit the door. But it did take a few minutes the first time I did one.

So maybe 15 min?

Sounds about right actually. Take the average time and double it = govt time.
