Well it looks like we just got screwed

[Hammar]

Unless the "problem" is no CLEO sign off, which mine won't, then what? Cans paid for. 9 months of waiting. Then...

I've been hearing some rumblings lately that may cause all of us more headaches.

If the government "shuts down" on Tuesday (if the Continuing Resolution to extend funding for the federal government is not approved), some "non-essential" federal employees could be furloughed. From what I've been hearing, instant background checks on firearms purchases could be delayed and work on NFA approvals could also slow way down.

Has anybody else got any info on this?

Government is not going to shut down.

 

[US Infidel]

So does the "shutdown" also extend the 90 day period for the discussion?

I think it would be a good time to update this thread. I just sent off for my stamp last week. I saw the
previous convo but being that we all know the gov't is shut down does this completley halt all stamp
approvals?

 

[Lafsnguy]

Yes they officially shut down I think on Monday of last week. The E forms website is down and they aren't processing any form 3s either.

 

[Trey@IG]

well i think this may finally be the reason i needed to get a trust started and dive into NFA goodies

 

[Tfurn30]

I'm going the trust route also for my sbr. Hope they get back going soon but not at the
expense of crappy health care. That I can wait for.

 

[Lafsnguy]

I would definitely recommend doing it it electronically. No doubt people are still mailing forms and they are just piling up. When it opens back up electronically filing the paperwork gets you in their system same day.

Just an update. I received an email with the following regarding the proposed changes

ATF 41P – There was a meeting with the ATF, ASA, and all of the major Silencer manufacturers at Shot Show. The ATF advised that they have one person to respond to all of the comments that were made during the comment period. They have right at 10,000 comments that warranted a reply. The one lady who responds to the comments said it would take her roughly 2 years to do so. So, I think we are all very safe from this becoming a reality anytime soon. Hopefully they will take this time to reevaluate what it is they think they are trying to do. It is certainly not helping anyone.

So hopefully it won't happen or at least it won't happen for a while.

Still I speak for myself and a lot of people who are getting suppressors built who are up on the laws they want to push through. A lot of people are trying to buy every suppressor they could possibly ever need in case it goes to hell.

 

[Lafsnguy]

Yeah its like anything gun related the best time to buy was a few years ago haha.

 

[tim9lives]

i guess we see things differently on this issue.

Instead of looking at it and counting my current possessions to see if "i got mine" and making that the decision on acceptability of the change,

i look at how the change would affect the big picture of people present and future, and if it's for the better; which it is not.

excellent point !
