Why does the form require a hunting license?

[mofugger]

I was in the process of looking over the online form and it clearly states that if you are not in possession of a valid hunting license, you cannot be a licensee.

I am legally able to own a firearm, but I don't happen to have a hunting license and haven't had one in more than ten years.

Thanks.

That's weird.

Taken from the C&R FFL application.

Are you in possession of a valid hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States?

1. If you answered "NO," you likely cannot lawfully possess a firearm and therefore cannot be a federal firearms licensee.

For the license.
Here's the link to the form.

Section 10 only applies if you are a NonImmigrant Alien.
