Jim Baker, the NRA representative present at the meeting, recalled the vice presidents words during an interview with The Daily Caller:
"In response to Mr. Baker's comments, Vice-President Biden said, "And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don't have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately."
Submitting false information on an ATF Form 4473 required for the necessary background check to obtain a firearm is a felony punishable by up to ten years in prison, depending on prior convictions and a judges discretion, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
