[@jeffhuntley2921]

This is the first time the government telling me this is the new normal isn’t believable

[@6254KLR]

ATF wants to get as many people on the books as possible before this next election......

[@curbside01]

Who cares they changed the 4473 in October of 2020 they know everything you have already They probably see the the writing on the wall that suppressors and SBRs will soon be off the NFA and are probably just trying to get as much tax revenue before that happens

[@silvermine2033]

A comment to help boost the KZbin algorithm!

[@Daekar3]

I hope it's true! In the meantime, I'll just keep waiting... 9 months and counting.

[@noriegajon]

Mine was approved in 2 days. Now just do away with the tax stamp.

[@nunyabidness9578]

I suspect that in spring g of “25 things will get even better.

[@Papamte]

Not everyone is getting fast approvals. I certified on my last suppressor on 3/22/24 and I'm still waiting.

[@curtishoward5584]

I’m still waiting ! My local gun shop says NOTHING HAS CHANGED ! So ya the new normal is same as old normal. Bullshit.

[@nelhead4807]

I know you also will have problems if your a Jr or the 3rd. It took some time to even certify mine.

[@kellywells5732]

Napa has them, you can get them the same day

[@TieToter]

At least it's an improvement.

[@batmantiss]

Yea, gotta start somewhere

[@jeffsiewert1258]

IMO, this is an attempt by the ATF to collect as much money as possible before the NFA is ruled unconstitutional and struck down.

[@utubegeneric]

Why not recommend that when they approve one, if there are more filed and awaiting approval, how about suggesting after the background check they approve ALL pending submissions? That would speed up things for us, and quickly lower their backlog too because it's stupid that there be 3 stamps submitted and get approved for one quickly, while the other two languish for months.

[@owenmiller9906]

ATF is improving its bundling process to do just that!

[@americansuppressor]

Yup, that’s something we’ve been pushing for quite some time. ATF has improved their bundling tremendously in recent months. Our ultimate goal is to also allow people to put multiple NFA items on the same Form 4, effectively allowing consumers to bundle the applications themselves at point of sale.

[@frankwood3984]

I'm pretty underwhelmed by the American Suppressor Association (ASA) and the "product" of their late 2023 roundtable discussions with the ATF. Yes, it has reduced waiting times for suppressors purchased by an individual person but has not quickened approvals for trusts and other forms of ownership. A well-built suppressor constructed of quality alloys is a long-lived asset and given the time and expense of the suppressor purchase, it may make more sense for the purchase to be made by a trust so that the suppressors can be readily shared by multiple parties and that the sharing can continue after the ultimate demise of any of the benefactors. Why has the acceleration of individual person approvals not carried over to NFA trust approvals? Although I had suppressors approved in mid-March, my early-April submissions still remain in "suppressor jail". Additionally, where is the ASA with respect to developing testing standards for comparing suppressors based on both subsonic and supersonic decibel reduction as well as measuring the visible signature of the suppressor? As a suppressor consumer, this would be useful information that would facilitate the purchasing decision.

[@Witty76]

Yet here I am at 262 days still pending

[@americansuppressor]

Hang in there. It’s likely that your application was one of the 30% or so that hit a delay in the NICS check. One of the best things to do if you get delayed is include your SSN on future applications. It can help tremendously with misidentification delays - one of the most common reasons for background check delays.

[@BlackDogOriginal]

Just got one approved, 3 days. Crazy

[@Northwestsilencers]

What about the people who are delayed

[@randyjones6225]

Now, if we could get the FBI to step up their background checks...

[@batmantiss]

My tin foil hat tells me the atf is boosting revenue after getting its ass handed to it in all the losing court cases. I worry they'll lure in thousands of new suppressor owners, then try and pass some sort of annual registration fee.

[@owenmiller9906]

NFA taxes don't go to ATF. They're sent to the General Treasury fund.

[@batmantiss]

@@owenmiller9906 and then where? Don't be foolish to think the atf doesn't need some financial salve for their wounds

[@MrBigdaddysdaddy]

I’ve been waiting for going on a year so, I don’t know you you’re directly this info too?.
