Agree that your supplement is what the government wants to do, but they still aren’t allowed by statute to amass Forms 4473.....yet.
They are using the 4473 to access the data as it comes through to make the background check and then store it in a database. Just because they don’t get the actual paperwork right now doesn’t matter.
Also the last time I filled out a 4473 it was done on a Dedicated Tablet not paper.
That was at Sportsmans Warehouse
I CAN GUARANTEE IT’S BEING PUT INTO A DATABASE.
