Why is the waiting times ridiculous ? 4-6 months Im told !Yes, it should be as easy as that. Put the stamp in an envelope and send it to you. But it’s the government...

Yeah, I don’t think any of mine came back that quick.Actually pretty quick.

Isent it the same process as a 4473 thoe ? Just a General Backgeound check why would that take 6 months ?Do more than about five NFA transfers and the wait gets about 36 hour shorter than the usual 6 months.
Sheeessssh.

And you liked my post, #4, which said the same thing, more or less.Y'alls may be looking at this the wong way, which is why it doesn't seem to make any sense...
It's not about just lethargy for it's own sake, It's about Deterrence - and if you think of it as such, the time-strech starts to make much more sense.
A $200 Stamp might not seem like much of a deterrent nowadays, but when NFA went into place, $200 was prohibitively expensive for many folks. But adjusted for inflation? How many would be willing to cough up ~$4k (current equivalent) for that same stamp now? Fortunately, that didn't happen.
41F was all about trying to correct that by making the process more difficult and off-putting with more needless BS and red tape. It won't stop anyone from getting their stamp, but if between the extra hassle and already excessive processing time it weeds out the impatient and/or on-the-fence buyers, well, that's a tangible reduction in numbers (with a nice bonus being the excuse to shut down F1 e-file for a long time which pushed them down even further), and a solid win for the 'crats. For them, the longer it takes, the better.
The key is just to not sweat over the delay. Send in your stuff then get it out of your mind, and it will be a nice surprise when the stamp(s) come in.

We pay the government to allow us to exercise a portion of our rights, in their view.
I am not wholly opposed to the government collecting taxes, however, when they limit our ablility to exercise our rights, endowed by our Creator, it becomes burdensome and should be thrown off.
Damn, you’re up late too.Yeah, I missed that the first time through and saw it after posting...
Obviously, I agreed with your comments
