Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum
Unfortunately, you would have a very hard, if not impossible time suing the Federal government. The only way I can think of is to somehow get this on a national ballot.
Maybe get a senator and congressman get a bill to the floor and vote it in as law. Of course the president would have to sign the bill, which Biden won't. But a major majority vote may get the job done. Nah. Just wishing in one hand and crapping in the other. We're screwed.
Individual on both.
Seems like a trend.
Trend started around the end of January. Got an email the other day from a class 3 dealer saying they had over 100 individual form 4s approved in less than a week.
I'm also at 11 months for a form 4 e-file through the kiosk. Have since purchased 3 handguns & a Bighorn Origin action with no delays. I am also sheriff in the county I preside in so there are no background issues. Ridiculous.
I've got a friend who is a 26 year retired marine vet who has a current concealed carry permit in a state that doesn't require a permit. He's got a current top secret clearance and has bought firearms in the last year with no problem. He's been hung up with an issue where the ATF & FBI will neither confirm or deny his form 4 applications and both agencies are pointing at each other. Just because the ATF has started confirming some individual Form 4 applications more quickly doesn't mean they are our friends or that things can't get side tracked with no legal basis.
$0…that's the advantage of the trust.
I was 2 yrs 9 months getting a TBAC9 Thumderbeast. Applied thru a family trust first. I had gotten 3 suppressors previously thru the trust, no real issues. The last one was filed electronically about the time Joe Biden took office. I waited 10 mo and called ATF line to check on my suppressor. "It's in process." Was the answer I got every time I called over next 9 months. Give them your name and SN on the can you're checking on and they can quickly tell you "It's in process." I was finally told it was rejected due to lack of information on one of the names in the trust. I got a letter from them telling me that. No explanation why or the difference this time compared to before. I have always considered it was political. Anyway I resubmitted in my name only and still took nine months after I was told by some gal at ATF that they would expedite my application since I had been waiting so long. Yeah, right. I don't consider 9 months as expeditious. Had to pay the $200 fine again for 2nd submission. Finally got the first $200 back from Silencerco, who had submitted both times thru. I think they purposely delay and the delay some more to **** you off so you won't buy another suppressor. Can you imagine how many cans would be sold if you could buy across the counter like it's done in Europe. Course you can't buy guns there like we can. We are polar opposite of Europe in guns and silencers.
