False Entry in a Record by a Firearms Dealer

It’s a Federal crime for a licensed firearms dealer to make a false entry in
any record that federal law requires the dealer to keep.
The Defendant can be found guilty of this crime only if all the following
facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt:
(1) the Defendant was a federally licensed firearms dealer when the
alleged offense occurred;
(2) the Defendant made a false entry in a firearm record that [he] [she]
was required to keep under federal law; and
(3) the Defendant knew that the entry was false.
Federal law requires a licensed firearms dealer to maintain a [record’s name]
record.
An entry in a record is “false” if it is untrue when made and the perso n
making it knows it is untrue.
