Bart, are you trying to say that in 1976, folks were even filling out the "Form 4473" for anything?

The Form 4473 is one of the fruits of the 1968 Gun Control Act and has been a part of federal law since then. In fact, up until 1986, you were not only required to fill out a Form 4473 for firearms; but for purchases of handgun ammo as well. The handgun ammo requirement was removed in 1986 with the Firearm Owner's Protection Act (and had broad bipartisan support) because it was pretty much useless.
