The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives and really big fires (BATF) has announced a “new” Form 4473. Beginning January 16, 2017, all Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) must begin using this latest revision for customers purchasing firearms. The new form features an extensive list of new warnings and explanations.
Perhaps the most notable warning statement refers to legalized marijuana usage. For the growing number of Americans who smoke pot legally, per ATF, these persons are ineligible to purchase firearms.
