The DAs and his own legal team are both on his side. They might bribe, drug or threaten the police witnesses, "lose" the evidence, or find some kind of legal technicality to invalidate it. In any case I am almost certain that he will not go to prison, though I am hoping to be proven wrong.
I'm expecting something like "Someone else forged his name on Form 4473 and the FFL who sold him the gun mysteriously committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head with a shotgun"
