I did apologize for the sandbagging. In my defense, however, I didn't ask a rhetorical question. I simply made a statement that was challenged by a couple of NFA "experts."
It's not my problem that a guy posts a copy of a section of a code and doesn't understand what the code is telling him. I don't mean that as a jerk, but I've three times now brought attention to the section describing who pays the tax. The tax is NOT paid by the transferee. The tax, IF A TAX IS DUE, is paid by the transferor. If that's too complicated, then perhaps anybody not understanding would like to send his own e-mail to the NFA directorate?
Once again, I do apologize for the sandbagging. Seems like the sandbagging wasn't really sandbagging, though, as my posting a copy of the e-mail that I received from ATF didn't seem to settle anything with a couple of folks. I THOUGHT I was being helpful to the OP by supplying the CORRECT information about the transferring of an NFA device from a governmental agency to a private citizen. My authority was an actual e-mail from the governing agency, not the speculation of internet experts.
Being the nice guy that I am, IF the local sheriff follows through with his promise to transfer the aforementioned items to me (acutally to my LLC), then I'll post the results in this forum.
Oh, yeah, the reason I originally contacted NFA headquarters in D.C. is because local agents, all the way up to the Atlanta field office didn't have a clue.
