Atf Form 4 2014: Fill & Download for Free

According to CBS, which got its numbers from a combination of the ATF statistical report for 2014 and the popular “eBay for guns”, GunBroker.com:Pistols - autoloading centerfire pistols are the most commonly-produced type of firearm in the United States, with 3.6 million produced in 2014.Rifles - taking three basic classes of rifle - semi-automatic, bolt-action, and lever-action - rifles made up 3.4 million firearms produced in 2014.Shotguns - According to CBS, between semi-automatic and pump-action repeating shotguns, this class comprised 935k firearms produced in 2014. A third common class, break-action, is undoubtedly included in these numbers as well.Revolvers - Revolvers made up 744,000 firearms produced in 2014.Misc - “Miscellaneous firearms”, including pistol-grip weapons not included in the pistol category, starter pistols, powder-actuated tools, and serialized parts of incomplete weapons which count as “firearms” to the ATF (receivers, frames) made up about 390k manufactured units in 2014.It should be noted that the CBS picture gallery skews fairly anti-gun; the “top 5” shown for rifles are in the semi-auto class only, while repeating-action rifles are by far the more common. The ATF doesn’t separate rifles by category or caliber as they do with handguns/revolvers, but as a full class, bolt-action significantly outnumber semi-auto. The captions also detail which firearm models were used in which notable mass shooting.

The information is not transmitted to the FBI, the form is kept by the dealer.Form 4473 - WikipediaA Firearms Transaction Record, or Form 4473, is a form promulgated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in the United States Department of Justice that is filled in when a person purchases a firearm from a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder (such as a gun shop).[1]The Form 4473 contains name, address, date of birth, government-issued photo ID, National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background check transaction number, and a short affidavit stating that the purchaser is eligible to purchase firearms under federal law. It contains make, model, or serial number on page three of the six page form. Lying on this form is a felonyand can be punished by up to five years in prison[2] in addition to fines, even if the transaction is denied by the NICS. Prosecutions are rare in the absence of another felony committed with the gun purchased.Of 556,496 denied transactions between FY 2008 and FY 2015, federal prosecutors prosecuted an average of under 32 cases per year, including 24 in FY 2013, 15 in FY 2014 and 20 in FY 2015.[3][4]The dealer also records all information from the Form 4473 into a required "bound-book" called an "Acquisition and Disposition Log.[5]A dealer must keep this on file at least 20 years, and is required to surrender the log to the ATF upon retirement from the firearms business. The ATF is allowed to inspect, as well as request a copy of, the Form 4473 from the dealer during the course of a criminal investigation. In addition, the sale of two or more handguns to a person in a five-day period must be reported to ATF on Form 3310.4.If a person purchases a firearm from a private individual who is not a licensed dealer, the purchaser is not required in most states to complete a Form 4473. All purchases of small arms (handguns)from private individuals from another state are required to have a Form 4473 completed before sale.Some states (such as California, Colorado, and New Jersey) require individual sellers to sell through dealers.These forms are given the same status as a tax return under the Privacy Act of 1974 and cannot be disclosed by the government to private parties or other government officials except in accordance with the Privacy Act. Individual dealers possessing a copy of the form are not subject to the Privacy Act's restrictions on disclosure. Dealers are required to maintain completed forms for 20 years in the case of completed sales, and for 5 years where the sale was disapproved as a result of the NICS check.The form is not automatically transmitted to ATF. It is held by the dealer. Only if they have a reason to investigate do they get the form from the dealer.

The reason why US jets are better than those designed by Chinese bureaus or maybe Russian “Bureaus” is because the US govt gets to choose the best of the best.Case in point - F22When the USAF needed another fighter jet to counter USSR’s Mig 29 and Su 27 they put out a tender for a new air superiority fighter intended to replace the capability of the F 15 Eagle. The tender was called Advanced Tactical Fighter. The USAF knew what it wanted - stealth, stol, supercruise, emerging technologies including advanced alloys, fly by wire systems, composite materials, high propulsion systems, etsSeptember 1983 - study contracts were awarded to seven airframe manufacturers for further definition of their designs and these wereLockheed (founded in 1926)Northrop (1939)Rockwell International (Boeing (1916)General Dynamics (1899)Grumman (1929)McDonnell Douglas (1939 + 1921)1984 - ATF requirements had settled on a fighter with a maximum takeoff weight of 50,000 pounds (23,000 kg), a mission radius of 800 miles (1,300 km), supercruise speed of Mach 1.4-1.5 and the ability to use a 2,000 feet (610 m) runway.May 1986 - the Air Force changed the RFP so that final selection would involve flying prototypes.July 1986 - proposals were provided byBoeingLockheedGeneral DynamicsNorthropMcdonnell DouglasOctober 1986: two contractors, Lockheed and Northrop were selected i to undertake a 50-month demonstration/validation phase, culminating in the flight test of two technology demonstrator prototypes, the YF 22 and the YF 23.27 August 1990 - The first YF-23 made its maiden flight29 September 1990 - The first YF-22 made its maiden flightOctober 1990 - 2nd aircrafts were added for each competitor18 September 1990 - The first YF-23 with P&W engines supercruised at Mach 1.4329 November 1990 - The second YF-23 with GE engines reached Mach 1.6The YF-22 with GE engines achieved Mach 1.58 in supercruise. Flight testing continued until December 1990. Following flight testing, the contractor teams submitted proposals for ATF production.23 April 1991 - the Air Force announced the Lockheed YF-22 with Pratt & Whitney engines as the competition winner.The YF-23 design was stealthier and faster, but the YF-22 was more agile9 April 1997 - First F 22 Raptor was unveiled7 September 1997 - It made its maiden flightDecember 2005 - The USAF announced that the F-22 had achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) and entered serviceJune 2006 - In simulated combat exercises 12 F-22s of the 94th FS downed 108 adversaries with no losses the Raptor-led Blue Force amassed 241 kills against two losses in air-to-air combat, with neither loss being an F-22December 2007 - achieved Full Operational Capability (FOC) integrated active duty 1st Fighter Wing and Virginia Air National Guard 192nd Fighter Wing fully operationalDecember 2011 - The 195th and final F-22 was completed22 September 2014, F-22s performed the type's first combat sorties during the American-led intervention in Syria ; aircraft dropped 1,000-pound GPS-guided bombs on Islamic State targets near Tishrin DamTo answer your question Why does the US Air Force rely on private companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon to design its advanced stealth and aerospace technology instead of using government-operated design bureaus like Russia and China?No seven Chinese companies would come forward with proposals to build a 4th generation fighter plane because they simply do not exist because they don’t have the freedom and more importantly the know like the Americans. China is an upcoming nation and to solve complicated scientific problems like 5th generation fighter jet the China govt has to step in and throw billions of dollars in addition to large scale espionage.Russia is way better than China and at one point had several aircraft manufacturing companies.Sukhoi (1939)Mikoyan (1939)Ilyushin (1933)Irkut (1932)Tupolev (1922)Yakovlev (1934)They were all merged to form United Aircraft Corporation in 2006.
