    BATF has suffered a dose of efficiency!!

    Wow. Do you read what you write? What do you think tax revenue is?:rofl: You might be secure in your understanding, but that doesn't make your argument persuasive much less factual.

    BATF has suffered a dose of efficiency!!

    He asked "questions" that have zero relevance to his comment: "...decreased approval times are $ driven and not the result of a sudden increase in efficiency...." ATF's budget is set by Congress, whether NFA tax revenues is $200 or $1 billion it doesn't affect ATF's budget. That ATF has...

    BATF has suffered a dose of efficiency!!

    I didn't write that. Seriously? You don't have any clue how our government works? How the government funds itself? I learned where taxes go and how that income is spent in elementary school. I weep for you. You should learn to use Google. It will save you much embarrassment.

    BATF has suffered a dose of efficiency!!

    In this thread we discover someone who thinks ATF keeps that $200 tax payment. :rofl: I suppose next you'll be telling us how rich the IRS is. I've never considered myself an expert, but good grief man.

    Ninety years says that realm of possibilities is as likely as me winning the Powerball jackpot. Huh? Tell us more about "$ driven".

    As a private party, can I still mail a long gun via USPS?

    Wrong. "Schedule 52" doesn't exist. Publication 52 does. The most current USPS info is https://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c4_008.htm Your link leads to a list of changes from 2023. It will be obsolete as soon as there is another update bulletin. Wrong again. No federal law or USPS regulation...

    As a private party, can I still mail a long gun via USPS?

    Nothing. There is so much inaccurate or outdated information in this thread it should be locked. What happened the last time you shipped, a decade ago or two years ago with USPS/UPS/FedEx, the postmaster, the mail clerk, the UPS driver has absolutely zero relevance to what is legal today and...

    BATF has suffered a dose of efficiency!!

    Dude!!!! You wrote: "I believe the reason for the short approval time is the ATF hired additional examiners to deal with their rule on braced pistols = sbr's.".......which didn't happen. No additional examiners were hired specifically for pistol braces. Only Congress can authorize ATF to hire...

    BATF has suffered a dose of efficiency!!

    Dream on. It's been law for 90 years. The Hearing Protection Act has never come close to a floor vote. Donald Trump never lifted a finger and in fact said "I don't like them at all.":oops: Trump: Will 'seriously look' at banning gun silencers Trump After Virginia Beach Shooting: ‘I Don’t...

    BATF has suffered a dose of efficiency!!

    No, the reason for the improved processing time isn't more examiners and has nothing to do with braced pistols. ATF didn't hire more examiners for braced pistol Form 1's. ATF hasn't "lost in court" as they still have an appeal. Currently there is a nationwide stay in place.....that could be...

    BATF has suffered a dose of efficiency!!

    I'm a Texas FFL/SOT and find that argument odd to say the least. One has nothing to do with the other.

    Waiting Time for Suppressor Approval?

    ATF has no choice. FBI NICS is the only federal agency with access to the databases used for background checks. So, it's not "messed up", it is what it is. I'm pretty sure I explained why above. ;) No, " the system" is slow for many reasons, "design" obviously is not one of them when we can...

    Waiting Time for Suppressor Approval?

    NFA checks have historically taken longer because the FBI assigned them a lesser priority than Title I firearm checks. If the check didn't result in an immediate proceed the FBI would set it aside and research when they felt like it. The Brady Law mandates the FBI NICS background check, but...

    Waiting Time for Suppressor Approval?

    I do so every time because federal law doesn't prohibit it. Some dealers, especially big box stores, refuse to transfer unless they get an affirmative "proceed" response. I would guess 20% of my delayed NICS checks don't update to proceed before the Brady date. When an FBI NICS check is run...
