Loophole = Freedom.

Everyone was completely aware of how the process would work when the rules were originally drafted.

Oh well, at least all these gangbangers won't be able to go out and make a Quicken trust so they can pay $15000 for a machine gun legally anymore.

Sounds fine and dandy till the Chief of Police decides he doesn't want to sign of on it, then what ? Sounds like an excuse to prevent anymore forms submitted to be approved.

Honestly I'm surprised the trust "loophole" wasn't closed years ago.  It's not like Uncle Sam to leave a barn door like that open for so long.  

I don't have a dog in this race; state doesn't allow NFA.  Nor does my checking account.

I haven't read anything on it recently, but part of the whole rule review thing was supposed to be the elimination of the CLEO signoff. Don't know if that's a part of what's being referenced in the article.

However, an online notice
said that it will require "responsible persons” designated by the legal
trusts to submit forms, photographs and fingerprints to the ATF and
forwarded to the local chief police officer. The rule will also define
the term "responsible person.”



The new rule will only apply to sale of machine guns, silencers and
similar firearms for which the AFT has special restrictions.  






According to reports, the number of applications to transfer restricted
guns to trusts has skyrocketed in the recent years, to more than 39,000
last year.



The REAL reason why they want to implement this new legislature.

I know this is preaching to the choir, but what criminal is going to make a trust, pay 15000 for a MG, then wait 8 months for the stamp. Yeah, it's for the children, pick up that can.

specified form, and to submit photographs and fingerprints; (3) require
that a copy of all applications to make or transfer a firearm be
forwarded to the chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) of the locality in
which the maker or transferee is located; and (4) eliminate the
requirement for a certification signed by the CLEO.

Sounds like they're bringing the rules for trusts in line with the rules for individual transfers. It would still make sense to buy thingson a trust, that way you don't need a Form 5 to pass it on to your heirs.

Old news. This has been in the works for awhile. You will have to submit prints with the trust and the CLEO signoff will go away for the individual route.

So how are we to go about this new e-file setup? If trusts have to have fingerprints and CLEO they won't work right?

From what I understand, that's why individual Forms can't be e-filed at this time.

It doesn't require you to obtain approval from the Chief of Police, just lets him know. So lets say he decides to drop by one day with the local SRT team to make sure everything is in order.

I wonder if such rule changes would stand a court challenge.  SC gave 'personhood' to corporations in 1888 or so.  The unintended consequence of changing such rules willy nilly may prove interesting.

Just contacted my attorney about the matter last week, there is a pretty informative publication on the topic coming out of UF law this week or next week that should shed some light on what we have to do. I'm holding off doing anything for another week or so, then it will be a rush to try to get everything submitted before they start mucking with things

Some of the best firearms advice I ever got was to purchase my NFA items as an individual, not through a trust.

I got lucky with a CLEO that signs off no questions asked, excepting a background check run by his office.

The reason I wanted a trust is because it was the easiest way for my wife and I to jointly own an NFA firearm.

Are you sure about this?  Does it still get sent to the police chief?  Per the article:

However, an online notice said that it will require “responsible persons” designated by the legal trusts to submit forms, photographs and fingerprints to the ATF and forwarded to the local chief police officer. The rule will also define the term “responsible person.”

My understanding is that you have to forward the info to your CLEO, but the CLEO sign off is not required. If they don't like it, tough shit. You informed them and that's all you'd be required to do.

If I recall correctly from when I read the proposed rule change the CLEO will be notified, but they have no say in the matter.

The signoff requirement was instituted by the ATF. It exists nowhere in the NFA or GCA. They can do this via rulemaking.

Not that it makes any difference, but what does the actual law have to say?

Is this even something which the President can change by EO?   Or does Federal statute only specify prints, CLEO signoff, etc from individuals?

So will this effect NFA items already procured via trust or all new NFA items procured after a certain date?

-Anyone care to speculate?

An excellent question. Not to mention what will happen to all of the Forms currently pending using trusts...

Good luck with that.  If they stop me using my corporation  to buy NFA items, I guess I will just have to become a part of case law.

My guess is that if the rule changed now, they'd kick your form back for not having all of the required papers when they finally got to it in 6 or 8 months.

Forward, to Progress.   Glorious 5 year plan forms for great gun-owning freedom.
