Ha! Reminds me of when I tried to register to vote when I moved back to Louisiana in 2002. They said there was a problem with my birth country (Saudi) and I needed to register in person. When I went down there and they saw I was a white boy with a southern accent, there was no more "problem"... good ole' LouisianaI can see you know:
"I am here to request your signature for an SBR"
I think you are missing that several steps are done in parallel. When you submit a form, they send the check off to be be cashed, then send your prints to the FBI, and they put your form at the bottom of the pile. By the time your form has worked its way to the top (10 months or whatever it is now), your check has cleared and your BG check is approved. It then takes about 15 minutes to examiner time to process your form, affix a stamp, and get it ready to be sent back to you.
So with 12 examiners processing forms in 15 minutes 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, to process through the 50,000 forms ahead of yours is:
50,000 forms / (12 examiners x 4 forms/hr x 8 hours x 5 days/week)= 26 weeks. Then add in holidays, meetings, phone calls, training, short staff (they only had 9 examiners till last week), you can see why it takes so long.
So basically if the ATF had two different piles, individuals with BG checks and Trusts, the Trust side could move along like the fast lane... But instead they do not. Bummer. And my dealer just submitted my form 4 snail-mail instead of electronically. Ugh.
No, what Renegade is saying is that they can only process so many forms a day, whether they are a trust or individual does not matter. His explanation clarified it for me. They have 50,000 forms to process, the BG checks don't factor in.
No the trust pile would take longer as there would be be more forms in it.
Well this is a pleasant response to my email to Sheriff Gage.
First my email:
And now the response:
Wow. That's all I can say. I'm glad that Tommy Gage says he will, but it saddens me that other fellow Texans may be screwed by these bastards in Washington.
UPDATE: Spoke with Ken at NFA Investments in Conroe and he advised Sheriff Gage WILL NOT sign off on MACHINE GUNS, but will on SBR's, SBS's silencers, etc.
Here's a fun question... Say you start a corporation and become an 07/02; will all the officers of your corporation have to get CLEO sign off before you can manufacture any suppressors?
I hope they don't get wind of that.Nope, NO CLEO signoff for FFLs.
In other words, it is easier to get an FFL to make NFA then to buy it as a non-FFL.

Only problem with becoming an FFL is theyre becoming increasingly more strigent on wanting you to have a storefront in order to get anything but your regular ffl.
Completely untrue.
That information came straight from my buddy who works for a Class 3 SOT in Mississippi. That is exactly what he was told by the ATF agent during their latest inspection. A regular ffl license is no big deal but once you start talking SOT status they want business licenses, insurance, the whole gamut. With a quick google search you can find multipke stories citing the same thing.
