Now BATFE says you cannot let someone shoot your NFA in your presence

[Renegade]

Fun is over. They have Acknowledged their error:

“The Q&A currently listed on the eforms account is incorrect. In this scenario, the registered owner of the NFA weapon is co-located with the firearm and thus no transfer has occurred. However, if the person firing the NFA weapon is prohibited from possessing the firearm there could be a GCA violation. We are working to correct the site as quickly as possible.”

I still wonder how many of the rank-&-file BATFE agents are willing to put their lives at risk to enforce these regulations.....

MASSIVE new ATF NFA Change?

New video just dropped. Apparently someone pulled the "Answer" from the ATF FAQ. **edited (renegade post #31) Other pertinent info, imported pistol "may" not be contraband....but, ya know, who knows?

If you want to take it to the extreme, how can they be shipped then? The leave the manufacturer and shipped on a FedEx truck driven only with drivers with an FFL???

USPS registered mail has long been the preferred way. USP & Fedex don't want to pay off the high cost of transferable gun.

New video just dropped. Apparently someone pulled the "Answer" from the ATF FAQ. There is a blank spot after the question now. Other pertinent info, imported pistol "may" not be contraband....but, ya know, who knows?

Being it's the ATF, if they aren't pinned down, they just take recess...

It's atf. Retards is all they have.

Not true. Yes, they employ lots of Special Agents who couldn't make it at the FBI. The even worse ones wind up in agencies like the Railroad Retirement Board.

But I have known Special Agents with ATF who were smart, honorable people. Only a couple, I admit, but the guys with the guts to be first through the door do exist. The best I ever knew died at Waco and I still miss running into him on breaks and chewing the fat.

ATF is like some police departments. Some are big and have a few bad officers who reflect badly on the rest. Some police departments, though, are small and seem to be magnets for badge-heavy assholes. There may be one or two good guys to be found but they tend to keep quiet.

ATF, on the criminal enforcement side, is closer to the latter. That's a sad thing to have to acknowledge. I just wish they'd acknowledge it to themselves so they could start fixing what's broken.

When you say, "Died at Waco," you don't mean THE 'at Waco' do you?
I am of the opinion that there were no honorable ATF agents at Waco that day.

Yes, I do.

There was one. Maybe two, but certainly one.

Yes, I do.

In that case, I suspect friendly fire...
