Even though the sources and methodologies differ, I agree that convicted felons seem to be wildly underreported in the NICS data. Does this mean that there are convicted felons out there who could lie on a Form 4473 and pass an NICS check?

EDIT: Or are the "active records" in the NICS data just the people who have filled out a Form 4473 and been denied?
