Checking back in with an update:
All my braced pistol Form 1’s just got approved, regardless of OAL issues/etc.
My paid Form 1 SBR was approved as well a few days ago.
Still waiting to hear on the Form 4 SBR transfer submitted on eforms just a few hours before the AWB was signed. Expecting it to be denied, but who knows. Definitely a duplicate at this point anyhow. Will give me good standing for court filings if needed though if that happens.
Pleasantly surprised to see that ATF at least approved these Form 1’s without playing games and saying the new WA law means we can’t have what we already had or something like that. I really kind of thought that might happen based on past history and what they said about not approving them for other places that don’t allow SBR’s. It would have been wrong of them, but that does not seem to matter much anymore.
Best news in a while for gun stuff for me personally, it seems like we have been getting beat up pretty badly here in WA and several other states, while the feds are playing games as well. We could use a few wins. Brace injunctions are a good start, but they are just a pause button, not a win yet. We still haven’t had progress on the WA mag ban, and some geriatric judge gave one of the stupidest thought out decisions ever on the WA AWB injunction request. We could use an actual win sooner rather than later.
Plus- The CA decisions sure seems to be taking forever. Starting to wonder if some leftys aren’t holding Benitez’s relatives hostage or something! (Only partly kidding there- WTF is going on?)
Quote History Quoted:
Waiting on a bunch of braced form 1 submissions, some under 30”, plus a regular Form 1 SBR and a Form 4 SBR that I submitted just a few hours prior to the signing/effective start of HB1240. (Fuck you Inslee!)
So I might be one of the last ones under the wire on those. We’ll see if it matters or not.
Not sure I would count the chickens just yet, not with only one approval in after this law change. While we all know that ATF should be approving most of this stuff, we also know they could just drag their feet or play even more games (Like the whole Form 1 braced situation already). I am 100% certain that the Form 4 SBR paperwork I submitted would be denied if I did it today instead of just prior to the signing.
Would be nice if ATF just plays by the rules, no games, we all have these “assault weapons” already, and already in these configurations, you said you were requiring us to Form 1 them, so you better fucking approve them...
On the other hand, they also said they would not approve Form 1’s for places where SBR’s were outlawed, so who can trust them not to fuck you over. At least we are better off than someone in those states- we have somewhat of a chance to get an approval.
