How hard is it to run a background check and check a few pieces of paper?

It is a joke. The paper work could all be handled at the LGS. My last can took from Jan 3/13 to July 1/13 and was in my hand on July 9th.

Boy, it sure is a good thing they are making speeding up the process such a priority. As they have explained the process they don't really do anything more than the instant background check you get with any other firearm purchase that uses the instant check. Yet somehow they are unable to efficiently process these even though there's a $200 check stapled to it. If you paid a guy 5% of the fee to get it processed he'd get the backlog cleared in a month and be waiting for the new flood of near instant NFA applications. The fact that this isn't done let's everyone know what the real goal is. |

If they're a year backlogged then that is the cue for everyone to backlog them some more. Put them in the situation of being backlogged two years because it's the only way to get the public's attention. The federal control system feeds off complacency, so they manage the complacency level of the public. If 100,000 voting americans are told to wait two years for some measly form, that's something even mindless pro NFA congressidiots can't ignore.

If there is no legal requirement (is there) for the ATF to process these in any particular timetable, what is to prevent them from slowing down even further? At what point is legal action due to the delay possible?

But it's doing exactly what it was setup to do: discourage people from buying/making NFA items. Congress is not going to be up in arms because I can't get a suppressor in less than a year. The courts aren't going to give a damn. And no politician is going to go out and state in front of his constituents that he wants to make it easier and faster for people to get machineguns. So we're pretty fucked. I have quite a few NFA items and the wait times won't stop me, but they will definitely stop newcomers. |

Obviously most of the federal system doesn't want regular citizens owning "unapproved" property, but a two year wait time would get it on the nightly national news. This is about publicly establishing the atf as what it is, a cabal designed to stop/prevent/reduce civilian gun ownership. Most of the public still thinks the atf is "legitimate law enforcement." |

Yeah, right. I'm sure a major network will do a segment on the horrible injustice of people having to wait longer to get their machineguns and suppressors, etc. The media always feels sorry for us about this kind of thing. Get real, man. I agree with you and everyone else that the wait times are ridiculous, but nobody in the mainstream media will even give it a second look. |

I didn't say the media would feel sorry for us, only that it would get on the nightly news. It would start with some smaller network, maybe get picked up by fox news, then at some point one of our half dozen decent congressmen introduces legislation or an amendment to must pass legislation that DOES get it on the national news. |
