Seems that either the author doesn't understand how the 4473 works, or Charlie. Most likely both. A Form 4473 defines the possessor of the firearm like the IP address defines the user of the Internet connection.
- greggyb 10y agoI read some into this and could certainly be wrong: The possessor is determined by the gun being found by local law enforcement finding an individual, A, in posession of the gun in question. A trace request is submitted. The gun (in police custody after being found in A's possession) is associated with a form 4473. That 4473 is found, and the original purchaser is indicated to be A. The quotes excerpted in this article seem to be missing a lot of context and to have come from longer discussions that are noted to be emotional in many cases. I am interpreting that quote as part of a longer conversation where the speaker is jumping around a lot. The whiteboard section clearly indicates that Charlie does not necessarily express his thoughts linearly and in an easy-for-the-author-to-follow manner.
