Form 4473, to add to that
The Feds may not have immediate access to mental health information that state authorities may/can see more readily.
On July 1, again this year, at the direct request of the FBI, the state of Washington discontinued the practice of same day handgun transfers to concealed weapon permit holders. Those transactions must now go through a state process by local law enforcement (along with the 4473) to determine the mental health status of the applicant. The same rule applies for semi-automatic rifles, with an attendant waiting period for both.
