...if you don’t have enough common sense to fill out a 4473 appropriately then you probably don’t...[etc.]

Is it possible by "appropriately" you suggest that the applicant lie to the feds in a sworn statement?

If you put the pot on your credit or debit card they could have indirect proof that you lied on the form - if they could get ahold of that info.

I’d never recommend intentionally falsifying a sworn statement.

Since the question on the form requires you to violate your Fifth Amendment Rights then arguably it sets up a possible defense to a claim of perjury on that form. Since you have two protected rights involved the form is defective for asking the person to admit to a crime and infringing on the right to keep and bear arms.

Haynes v. United States, 390 U.S. 85 (1968)

“A proper claim of the privilege against self-incrimination provides a full defense to prosecutions either for failure to register under § 5841 or for possession of an unregistered firearm under § 5851. Pp. 390 U. S. 95-100.”
