Those forms are supposed to be destroyed.

What do you mean? That all of the federal firearms licensees are breaking the law by keeping these forms?

You’re the one insisting there is no registration, while acknowledging that gun dealers provide access to 4473 after crimes have been committed.

I will admit that I had no idea the law allowed for registration via FFLs being required to store for 20 years+ (i.e., they're handed over to the ATF after a store closes).

I'm equally surprised that you think it's okay to require governmental approval to exercise a natural right.
