Never happen or even work

But I like the sentiment of suing ATF for financial loss because of wait times for NFA. What needs to happen is congress should pass a law that requires approval in some number of days. Of course, since ATF basically does a glorified NICS check, it should happen same day.

    Exactly. If Congress isn’t going to move suppressors et al to Title 1 they need to dictate that no addl agent slots will be funded except on a two or three to one increase in processing staff, or dictate a staff adjustment or something.

    If they are going o exist at all, the ATFE remains primarily a revenue collection agency. That job, expeditiously processing tax stamps and thus making the government money $200 at a time for suppressors and SBR/SBS, should be the priority. It should be a pretty easy soundbite sell.

    There is a case going through the federal courts which could make this happen. It just won in district court and is headed to appeals.

    Nuts. I just cancelled a Form 4 that had been pending/error status for 18 months. Count me in if there’s a lawsuit. ATF couldn’t tell me why. I think it’s because they suck at life.

    As for the “glorified NICS check”, does anyone know what they actually do? Has someone tried FOIAing a training manual, or has a former processor sat down and explained to some media what they do while processing a F1/F9?

    I have a feeling that they do something more than “just” a NICS check, for no reason other than to justify their existence, but other than nitpick the grammar of my Trust, I really can’t think of what.

    The GOP controlled Congress could add a deadline in a simple little amendment tacked onto a funding bill that ‘must pass’.

    But they won’t, because then they figure we’d be less angry and therefore less inclined to vote in 2016. Or something.

    We’re getting played, y’all.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
