Sheer volume... That's not it. There are millions more instant NICS background checks than there are pending NFA transactions. The issue is that the ATF arbitrarily makes the process long and drawn out as a deterrent. |

There's also a bit more to it than that. They have to review the application to make sure all the materials are there, review the fingerprints, trust, etc. as necessary, file everything, identify and make a determination of any mistakes made, issue the stamps and signatures, etc.
It's not a quick review of the database, a yes or no, and a confirmation number. |

Yes, because it's not like the ATF hasn't been complicating things and making it progressively more difficult, right? 41P ring a bell? The process is more involved than a NICS check, but not that much. A NICS takes 30 seconds or less. The entire NFA process is made arbitrarily more complicated than it needs to be, and if anything his post about everything they have to do proves MY point, as it's faster to get a gun (instant) than it is to get a suppressor (4-6 months), or shorten the barrel on a rifle (1-3 months.) |

The process is laid out in the law. There would have to be a change in the law to go from what we have now to the instant BGCs for NFA items.

It's my understanding that NFA items are done at there own seperate location with 23 employees last I heard. There are also close to 100k Forms done a month between form 1's, 3's or 4's etc. I'd say the wait is due to backlog and ensuring all paperwork and attachments are correct. I'm sure they don't want another lawsuit on their hands for unlawful issue of a stamp. If a Form 1 is denied a resubmittal and an email it's approved within hours so i'm sure they aren't purposely pushing documents off.
