Let’s talk more about the ATF. Now, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has been under scrutiny for its cumbersome and opaque procedures, leading to significant backlogs and wrongful denials in the NFA process.

These delays have unjustly impeded many of us from exercising our constitutional rights. The ATF Transparency Act seeks to address these issues head-on by 1. Establishing a clear appeals process. Ensuring that individuals who believe that they’ve been wrongfully denied can challenge decisions effectively. 2. Implementing a 90-day processing deadline. It mandates that the ATF processes all applications within 90 days. Failure to do so would result in automatic approval preventing indefinite delays. My humble opinion here in 90 days is about 90 days too long. It should be an instant check just like buying a gun at your FFL.

Actually, the NFA we all know should be repealed altogether, but here we are. 3. Enhancing oversight and accountability. Requiring comprehensive reports from both the Government Accountability Office and the Department of Justice on unresolved background checks and the FBI’s involvement, ensuring transparency and continuous improvement. Sen. Rich emphasizes that current systems inefficiencies have unjustly prevented many Americans from exercising their Second Amendment rights. He asserts that as more hurdles are created for law-abiding citizens, it’s only fair to demand that the ATF adhere to strict timelines to provide avenues for recourse. The act has garnered support from prominent organizations, including Gun Owners of America and the National Rifle Association, underscoring its significance in the fight for gun rights.

My buddy, Aidan Johnston, who is the Director of Federal Affairs for GOA, said Gun Owners of America is proud to endorse Sen. Rich’s legislation to eliminate ATF’s bureaucratic loopholes in the already unconstitutional National Firearms Act. ATF has deceived Congress and the American public with inaccurate NFA approval estimates for far too long. There is no reason that an NFA approval time should take longer than a normal background check. Especially since ATF has shown they are able to rapidly approve forms after Congress instructed them to. A right delayed is a right denied. Now, I will say that I have had a conversation with Aidan about this, where we have heard some rumors about some shifting of personnel at ATF, which would lead to longer approval times for NFA stuff.

And I will say that I tested this the other day by going to buy a can, and my FFL told me that he was seeing one to three day approvals right at the moment when I bought that can. We’re on day five now, so I don’t know. It seems to me that what we have heard could be true. Longer approvals. Now, John Comerford, who is the Executive Director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, the NRA, ILA, he said, the ATF Transparency Act is a crucial piece of legislation that will allow individuals the opportunity to appeal their denied application of National Firearms Act items.

The ambiguity of denials is an issue that must be resolved, and the NRA thanks and applauds Senator Risch for reintroducing this important legislation and standing up for all Americans’ Second Amendment rights. So what do you all think? Is this a bill you can get behind considering that the NFA isn’t going away anytime soon? We’re going to try to make some chips in the armor this year, but let me know what you think down in the comments down below. I would love to hear your feelings on this, and don’t forget to like and subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more updates on your rights and freedoms.

Guys and gals, I appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart, and I’ll see you all in the next one. Take care. [tr:trw].
