ATF Draft Form 4473 Changes Marijuana Question, Opens Door to Direct Gun Shipping

Summary

The ATF has released a draft of a revised Form 4473, shortening it from seven to four pages and clarifying several questions. Key changes include specifying sex as 'Male' or 'Female' based on birth assignment, clarifying gift transfers versus straw purchases, and updating the marijuana use question to focus only on recreational use due to rescheduling. Most notably, the draft introduces an option for 'Non-over-the-counter transactions,' potentially allowing direct firearm shipping to buyers within the same state.
