As long as the reason you state for wanting/needing the weapon in question isn't patently illegal, or strongly hints of illegality, insanity, or stupidity AND it passes muster with your CLEO it'll probably pass with BATFE. I know one person who has an approved F4 that states his reason for wanting/needing the weapon in question (a 20mm Lahti) as simply "EXCITEMENT!". I've used "for the pursuit of happiness" on several forms. I'd stay away from answers like "because the voices in my head told me to".
