The ATF's great subornation of perjury

By corrupt gun-grabbing officials who improperly procure government forms

18 U.S. Code § 1622 - Subornation of perjury

Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

With a bottle of liquor to boot, a judge chewing tobacco on the bench and a domestic enemy “SWAT” team called in by foreign spies and Chaos Computer Club hackers throwing flash-bang grenades into law-abiding citizens’ houses before they even have a chance to answer any of the following questions.

Answer the following questions by checking or marking "yes" or "no" in the boxes to the right of the questions. Yes No

a. Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual transferee/buyer if you are
acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual transferee/buyer, the licensee cannot transfer the
firearm(s) to you. Exception: If you are picking up a repaired firearm(s) for another person, you are not required to answer 11.a. and may
proceed to question 11.b. (See Instructions for Question 11.a.)
b. Are you under indictment or information in any court for a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could imprison you for more than one
year? (See Instructions for Question 11.b.)
c. Have you ever been convicted in any court of a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could have imprisoned you for more than one year,
even if you received a shorter sentence including probation? (See Instructions for Question 11.c.)
d. Are you a fugitive from justice? (See Instructions for Question 11.d.)
e. Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or
decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.
f. Have you ever been adjudicated as a mental defective OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution? (See Instructions for Question
11.f.)
g. Have you been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions?
h. Are you subject to a court order restraining you from harassing, stalking, or threatening your child or an intimate partner or child of such partner?
(See Instructions for Question 11.h.)
i. Have you ever been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence? (See Instructions for Question 11.i.)

These are the offending trick questions. The following quotation from the same illegally procured government form shows that the true intention of the form in all cases is only to suborn perjury by cloaking questions of adverse legal opinion as matters of undisputed fact, and not to document or effect any lawful transfers of firearms to law-abiding people in the United States.

I certify that my answers in Section A are true, correct, and complete. I have read and understand the Notices, Instructions, and Definitions on ATF Form 4473. I understand that answering "yes" to question 11.a. if I am not the actual transferee/buyer is a crime punishable as a felony under Federal law, and may also violate State and/or local law. I understand that a person who answers "yes" to any of the questions 11.b. through 11.i and/or 12.b. through 12.c. is prohibited from purchasing or receiving a firearm.

I also understand that making any false oral or written statement, or exhibiting any false or misrepresented identification with respect to this transaction, is a crime punishable as a felony under Federal law, and may also violate State and/or local law.

The frequent "re-definitions" and "re-interpretations" of various legal terms relating to firearms in different contexts are of course part and parcel of the ATF's same grand plan to suborn law-abiding citizens out of their gun rights by procuring false question-and-answer government forms which cannot even be properly introduced in court without incurring a bar violation on the part of the district attorney.

So let's see about re-defining those flapping jaws at the cop shop, or at least ceasing and desisting all that gossip, slander and libel against gun owners.
