EDIT: I'm going to asking the TFB writer to clarify the story.
RETRACTED: Note to all readers. This information was in error. I had an attorney who represents many FFL’s across the country with license matters as well as NFA cases. I’ve consulted with him several times on these types of matters. He informed me there has been no change in the law or BATF policy. Local law enforcement does not have to do the fingerprints. So nothing has changed this was an error caused by some rather unclear information on the ATF website. My apologies for creating a stir. Phil |

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/09/27/breaking-batfe-changes-nfa-fingerprint-requirement-must-now-completed-local-law-enforcement-authority/ Now needs to be done by a local law enforcement authority.   I just slid under the wire. |

Quoted:
And you need fingerprint cards with the ATF's ORI already pre-entered? You can't just enter the ORI yourself? Of course, ATF. I'm not surprised. From my understanding, the first line confirms you must use their card. Guys, this is a good thing. Getting the LEO to do your finger prints using live scan ensures the prints are legible to the computer reading it. Also, using actual ATF cards eliminates possible errors hand writing info onto it. This means less likleyhood of screwups or unreadable finger prints. Thus, theoretically this SHOULD speed up the background check process. |

Look at the section it's in, this is for explosives...
https://www.atf.gov/explosives/qa/how-do-i-get-my-fingerprints-taken The way I read it, until they actually create new Form 1 / Form 4's, this doesn't affect NFA. |
