Justin notes that the form is changing:
They have checkboxes now for the “Yes/No” question section.
Good. Now they’ll stop shutting down dealers for making who just put a Y or N instead of spelling out Yes or No.
It also has a spot so that you can select bare receiver instead of just handgun or long gun.

“Now they’ll stop shutting down dealers for…”
and they’ll find another reason to do it.

Now they’ll shut them down because there was an “X” in the box instead of a checkmark.
There’s always a way if the whole intent is to ignore the spirit of the law in an effort to harass.

I hate to say something good about administrative law or the ATF’s practice thereof, but this actually looks like a bunch of very thoughtful changes that should make compliance a lot easier for the regulated entities.
I especially like the pistol/rifle/receiver option. It only took 15 years (after Thompson Center’s successful pistol/carbine kit lawsuit), but it sounds like the ATF is finally acknowledging that a gun can be turned from a rifle into a pistol and that unless it actually has a short barrel and a shoulder stock it isn’t a short barreled rifle.

They ATF still need to put a second line for address for us apartment dwellers, or are they bias against us…mmmmm.
But I have no fear the ATF clowns will find another asinine reason to harass gun store and gun owners.

so what about states that require pistol permits?
how do you buy a receiver?

The only appropriate change is the disbanding of the BATFE and the barring of any of its personnel from any law enforcement function for life.
