[...] Not a good year for the ATF. An agent testified in court that the NFRTR (registry of NFA weapons) was deficient; they are currently experiencing significant budget troubles, attributable to bad management; now, they’re about to be investigated for breaking the law at Richmond, VA gun shows: On February 15, at 4:00 p.m., the U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security will hold an oversight hearing to investigate apparent wrongdoing by BATFE at a Richmond, VA gun show last August.

[...] Only this time, it’s budget stuff and not a corrupt registry of NFA weapons or kitten stomping. The WaPo: The new headquarters of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in the District is at least $19 million over budget at a time when the agency is considering sharp cuts in the number of new cars, bulletproof vests and other basics it provides agents.

The branch of the ATF which handles Class II issues has become amazingly friendly and efficient as of late. A good friend of mine had some six transfers which had been elayed for one reason or another (one was nearing TWO YEARS) and all of a sudden two months ago the ATF called HIM, apologized and they had all of them cleared up in less than a month. VERY odd.

As for another amnesty, it’s always possible. The amnesty period outlined in the 1968 GCA was never completed and there are, if I recall correctly, still 120 days of amnesty that have to be given. Damn would that be the coolest!

Another amnesty?

Maybe I should buy an MG-42 parts kit and an unfinished receiver…..

Thanks for explaining what NFRTR is. Perhaps you could move that element above the quote.

And, considering I don’t like how the ATF does it’s job, I’m secretly wishing someone or something will force the ATF to screw up publicly right now so their entire house collapses.

That may be a mean thing to wish on someone, but I’m a “tough love” kinda guy.
