ATF is proposing to change the form 4473 to include the details of the firearm purchased right on the front page of the form. Some are surmising this is because ATF has been taking photographs of the front a form 4473‘s for a while, but that only gives them the personal information of the purchaser, and not detailed information of the firearm purchased. Placing that information on the front page would allow them to get a picture of the details of the firearms as well, which would give them everything they need to create a registry-like database.
