Came across this today: HR 6126: bill to force ATF to process NFA applications in 90 days
Sounds good to me. There's absolutely no reason an NFA application should take a year or more to process.
If you agree, contact your reps.

OTOH, if the go OTC, they will instantly start showing up at crime scenes and CCTV videos of hoods using them rob stores and mug people. The first few ambush-style attacks on police that happen with suppressors could be the push anti-gun groups need to ban them altogether. I'd actually settle for keeping them on the NFA and going through all the paperwork, but skip the $200 fee and enforce a 4-day wait just like normal firearms... a hybrid process.

I would just like to see something done to kick the ATF in the ***** on NFA wait times. Anything that would legally justify a denial can be found in an instant NICS check; taking over a year to push the paper around is nothing but an attempt to create a barrier with the process. ATF even admitted that bunch of approvals they did in ~30 days last summer was only to shorten their "average" approval time to get Congress of their back, and then they went right back to business as usual.

April set another record... not as high as March, but crushed last years numbers for the month. I abstained from purchasing anything gun-related this month, so can't take any credit.

So after 9(count ’em, ******* 9!) months, yesterday I finally got my People’s Republic of Connecticut CCW license, so now I’m legal to carry in the state where I grew up. Maine is shut down tighter than a clam’s ***, so we’re staying here to take care of family who can use help. I celebrated today by buying a VP9SK.
According to CT statute, I was to be advised in no more than 8 weeks of receipt of application; my check cleared the bank on 8/20.
Not infringed at all. In Maine, I just need to not be convicted of a violent crime.

Not that I pay attention to such matters, but we basically just set an all-time record for gun sales last month. Yup, NICS checks does not even come close to a 1for1 metric of how many new guns enter the market, noted. And the only month ever to see more NICS checks than last month was Dec'15, widely considered an anomaly month combined with Xmas and the San Bernardino shooting. Even though exact numbers are very hard to come by, a review of the numbers by the NSSF basically tells a reader that last month, more new guns were sold in this country than any other month ever.
With COVID, the riots, the war on police, an election year, the records of first-time gun-buyers, the recent evisceration of most anti-gun talking points, and a dozen other factors, I'm gonna go on record here predicting 35 million checks this year.
