In California if I want to sell my car to a private party I'm required to give the new owner a recent smog certification. That's something I could probably forge, and would likely be committing a crime in doing so. *If* prosecuted, I'd probably serve no jail time and pay a large fine.

HunterB making false statements on the federal gun form for a law that no doubt lets thousands of gun sales via private party sales every year slip through ownership fitness scrutiny, no doubt to many people who should definitely not be owning guns, sounds like a pretty weak-sauce law to me.

I doubt most "regular people" who make false statements on the federal gun form ever go to trial, and simply agree to a monetary plea deal. Something that won't even make it into the local town gazette.
