It's really just a lot more of a pain in the ass, and the extra paperwork and wait is intended to be a deterrent.

It may even be the same check. Difference is there's 40,000 hard copy form 4s waiting in boxes lining a hallway ahead of yours.

In the case of trusts, it's even LESS of a check IMHO. Which is why it's fucking stupid that it takes months to do.

Truth.
Put your name and/or SSN in a computer. No wants/no warrants=pass. That'll be $200 please.

I'm guessing they do what's called a Criminal History III
which is running name/dob and seeing if you have any convictions that would make you a prohibited person
it takes about 30 seconds to do one
any old police department can do it too, so it's not something only the atf can do

It's called a Sin Tax.

Yeah I am familiar with both PD type back ground checks and

Government full disclosure checks for clearances

and was curious as to where the NFA check stood in all of that

fingerprints

are finger prints part of the background check or do they just keep them on file?
