What are the odds this goes through? Arizona Mike says this is no big deal but there are many veterans on NFA centric forums that are saying otherwise. They are quite worried about this.
IMO very high, ATF has the power to draft and enforce its own regs as long as it follows the FedGov process for changing CFR's.What are the odds this goes through?
My understanding is that they are only proposing to change the approval process and not asking Congress to chbange the law. State law governs changes to trusts. That said, if they want fingerprint cards for everyone named on a trust, I suspect people will start getting multiple trusts.Have they addressed new trustees being added to a trust that already has transferred items? I have a child on the way that may or may not be born before this goes into effect. It would be nice to avoid yet another set of fingerprints and photographs by setting up the trust now and getting some transfers started.
Which begs the question of what will happen to those already playing the waiting game. No way I'd get approval in time. Babies come faster!
I don't think that they can require that as the weapon is owned by the trust. I think that would be making a new crime not in statute.One of the issues the current proposal specifically asks for commentary on is the feasibility of requiring any new trustee added to a trust to be sent to ATF within 30 days on a new form that will require fingerprints, CLEO sign off, etc.
Isn't this one one of Obama's recent EO's does?
