Attorney Richard Hayes and Edwin Walker discuss major ATF rule proposals that could dramatically change Form 4473 requirements, firearm record retention, paperless FFL operations, and even remote firearm transfers. From expanded acceptable IDs and proof-of-residency documents to potential limits on how long ATF can retain firearm transaction records, this update could significantly impact gun owners, FFLs, military members, students, and the future of firearm tracing in America. They also break down ATF’s proposed changes to direct shipment and non-over-the-counter firearm transactions.
