In NFA news
Closing a loophole that’s not a loophole. Corporations are people too:
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is working on a new regulation that would require more background information when the weapons are sold to someone through a corporation or legal trust.
Not as nefarious has The Hill makes it out to be. More from David Hardy.

It is completely nefarious.
LLCs and trusts are used by citizens who live in libtard run cities to buy MGs.
They absolutely cannot get a top LEO in a leftist city to sign form fours. The BATF currently requires an afidavit from the “responsible person”, and they will run a NICs check on that person. The only loophole being closed here is the second amendment.

And yes, they are promising to remove the LEO signature requirement … but we all know how useful such promises are when Senate Democrats get through with a bill.

Is that a within-the-six-months recent requirement? My trust owns two suppressors, one of which was approved in January, and I signed no such affidavit.

Hmmm … the comments I saw on one of the NFA lists had links to the affidavit the ATF demanded.
How old was your trust when you acquired the first suppressor?
August 26th, 2013 at 1:52 pm
the trust was created for the purposes of buying NFA items, so the trust was about a week old when I submitted my first form.

and that was in…2011?

So I was getting conflicting info then.
A good reason to hire an attorney when playing trust games with class III stuff.
