Also factor in the fact that they are down to 7 examiners (from 12) and there is a hiring freeze on in the ATF.
that's a good idea . i'm doing it tonightI've sat around for years and griped about wait times and the ATFE in general, and decided today to do something besides bi#ch about it. I wrote my congressman and asked if he could do something first about the ridiculous 6 month wait period and secondly, why are suppressors treated as a firearm in the first place! It may not help but if a bunch of the class 3 guys would also write their representatives, how could they ignore us. Keep in mind, this is an election year.
Excellent letter
How do we take a message exactly like the above to a National Scale?
To change the law would be an extremely heavy burden.
Without changing the law the current administration has started changing the law or more process. So when do we scream, when it is a 1 year wait?
I am happy to submit a letter but believe it needs to be a National campaign maybe with a web type auto form in order to really get traction. There are web forms to submit to congress.
Not sure if Senator Luger is the right recipient. Maybe your local Congressperson rather than Senator.
Anyone used this recently?
My 2 suppressors went pending April 16 and it said I should expect them in August. Thats only 4 months. The last time I used this in February it told me I should expect 7-8 months. Hopefully this is a good sign.
I just ran this again on my 2 pendings, and it said July for both. The ATF told me September last week. I'll be happy if it happens sometime in the middle.
