Read the Text of the Bill.

This is one hell of a mixed bag. You will have to fill a State-Mandated Firearms Purchase form besides your ATF 4473 with information yet to be determined (and probably more than needed.) If you were to be denied, FDLE has to ring the alarm bells to pretty much every LEO agency they think might need to be involved.

FDLE also has to provide not only the info of the person denied but also the data of the person selling the firearm for investigation. Oh yes, this bill also includes Universal Background Checks! So now, a false denial gets in trouble not only the buyer of the gun but the good faith seller. But hey, you are a Gun Nut so you are guilty till proven innocent, right?

Also, what is going to happen with those forms? Will they be kept by the FFL or eventually required to go into a state’s database creating a back door Gun Registration?

There is more stuff in that bill. Feel free to read and add your ideas.
