New guidance from the BATFE
I just received the following by e-mail from the NSSF:

I looked up antonyms for 'binary', and one that came up on www.powerthesaurus.org is 'gender ninja'. That's cool!
But I digress. Seems to me that there are potentially two issues at the heart of completing a sale by a FFL. First, you have the completion of the 4473, and the ATFs guidance seems clear if the purchaser does not provide an answer to question 6. This is not discriminatory. What is not at issue here, nor relevant even though the ATF mentions is, is section 31. Who really cares if the purchaser indicated on the form a gender/sex that did not appear to match the visual presentation? The second issue, as I see it, has to do with calling in the NICS on the transfer. As I recall, the gender/sex is inquired about at this point. If a purchasers name, date of birth, resolved and is good, but the gender/sex indicated fails to match the information that may be in the NICS database, would that result in a denial or cancellation by NICS? And again, this would not be discriminatory. Its a matter of matching up backgrounds to a purchaser.

Following the staff warning, I have deleted several posts that went off topic or were attempts to be funny.
Stay on topic. Social commentary on the issue or nonlegal issues are not needed.

Commonly used abbreviations are perfectly fine on the Form 4473 and ATF even uses one as an example. Further, they give this advice to FFL's regarding abbreviations: Quote:
