“While the NFA was enacted by Congress as an exercise of its authority to tax, the NFA had an underlying purpose unrelated to revenue collection,” the ATF overview continues. “As the legislative history of the law discloses, its underlying purpose was to curtail, if not prohibit, transactions in NFA firearms.”

You guys think they're looking for advice and input from actual firearm owners or from people who are anti-gun?

My guess is they'll disregard anything that is pro-gun and spew to the public what the anti-gun assholes are saying on this "questionnaire" in an effort to convince the "on the fence" crowd that we do need more regulation.

Always remember, they play from the angle of "how can we fuck freedom loving patriots."

As the maker you must engrave it, additional info is an easy box to list additional calibers and barrel lengths so cops won't ask questions about why the gun doesn't match the form.

Are they finally starting to realize that a suppressor is not a firearm and should not be regulated as a firearm?

The proposed change to the size of the form, i.e., 8.5" x 14" will- not kidding here- act as a deterrent for individuals looking to submit the form.  This is the reason why South Carolina's "no concealed weapons allowed" sign was intentionally required to be bigger than the common 8.5" x 11"... So there would be a psychological and practical barrier impeding the owner of a premises from simply printing one out on presumably available standard printer paper.

Oppose this change to the paper size.

Yeah; that's bizarre since it was put forward as a tax measure which is under under the purview of congress, rather than a gun control measure.

8.5" x 14" will work with any printer and fit in standard envelopes just fine.   How is it an impediment?

How about this...

Same background nics check for a tax stamp.  Right there at the dealer, send the paperwork and approval to mother fuckers with 200 bucks and they just crank out the stamps.

If this would speed up the process by, immediate payment, trust won't need to be included because forms will be filed with previous ones. Since previous forms were accepted then that will be taken into consideration and insure an even faster approval time, like a month not eight. Forms and payment done online with a database previous users can log into and check on their old forms, pending forms and trust which can be amended online to add items as they are acquired. At anytime you can log in and see where your form is, if its been approved or needs to be corrected and a tracking number for a more precise delivery.

Maybe they want the anti-gun crowd to hit the site and flood it with "suggestions" that will clog up the works completely and make NFA ownership impossible.  It might be worth putting this as a firemission to get a lot of Arfcom input on the issue to try and fend off a libtard stacking of the deck.

Ding.

The Heller ruling specifically stated (and I believe the McDonald ruling reiterated) that banning an entire class of firearms was absolutely unconstitutional, period.

This is an explicit statement by a federal agency acknowledging that the law they are tasked with interpreting and enforcing is unconstitutional, and that they have believed it to be so for an extended period of time.

There really isn't much defense against that in front of SCOTUS.
