Batf rule changes on trusts

[uncle money bags]

I just want to pass along an email i received from my nfa trust attorney.


Matthew Winton wanted me to forward you the following advisory.
*
Advisory: Currently, the BATF is working on revised regulations pertaining to NFA trust applications. It may be that the final regulations require responsible persons, as defined in the reg, to provide fingerprint cards and photo IDs even when using an NFA trust. Under the gun trust that I use, this would include all trustees of the NFA trust. Another proposed change is to do away with the CLEO approval, but require copies of your application and stamp be sent to the CLEO upon registration..

I saw that as well. I'd bet a wooden nickel that this is how (one of the ways) the BATF has decided to interpret the recent executive orders pertaining to them. The finger prints and photos would be a P.I.T.A., but then... the whole process is a P.I.T.A. [sigh...] I don't really have anything to hide from a CLEO, so placing them downstream in the process might actually help some folks without changing much for the rest.

Ultimately, though, it's still a good way to have a single weapon accessible to a limited group.

This proposed rule change came out long before the recent EO's.

If you had been watching Michael Banes on the best defense or shooting gallery you would know that the NFA community has been working several years to get the cleo signature requirement removed.

Guess I gotta go digging in my junk drawer for that wooden nickel!

This has been in the works. They've never taken a positive view of trusts.

So if they've been talking about this for a while, have they stated yet whether they're pushing for prints and pics on each and every form 1/4, or just once per individual? ...or is it that yet to be decided?

Any idea of an implementation date? I just sent off some paperwork, but didn't include prints or photos, so I wonder if it will get kicked back.

It will be per each application.
