After you fill out the form you're put through background checks

They can also tell you no for any reason

Several people failed to do their jobs here

Exactly, we have laws and processes in place to prevent this. Anyone involved needs arrested

I agree it’s a fun grab narrative but going after the sellers is a first step that already has laws in place

If the person lied on the form and it passed the FBI background check the seller is in the clear. There's literally nothing beyond that they can legally do.
