Fee outside of this issue, although I would have no problem paying the $200 for 45 day turns, you can pick whatever number makes you happy. What Rhino said (thanks.)
On the subject of Trusts, its a control nightmare, especially in the absence of a license to carry. 20 years ago, Trusts were 1 out of 500. Today 1 out of 40.
The issue is to make transfer to individuals as efficient as possible. The intent of this exercise is to provide clarity, security, accountability and speed to all engaged. Trusts have faceless parties that can change, be under age with representatives, become infirmed, etc. In order to service those not engaging int the process of running around their local sherrif, we have to address Trusts differently. </div></div>
so again... you want a license... rather than what most advocacy groups want... what they all really want is for NFA items ( suppressors and SBRs specifically) to have the same buying process as any other firearm... IE: you pay for it, fill out a 4473 (and a form 4), the dealer runs the NICS check, receives a "proceed" (theoretically), and you walk out with your purchase... the $200 tax would be added to the price and sales tax, the form 4 would be mailed in to the BATF and entered into the NFA registry...
because it simply makes no real sense to have parts and ACCESSORIES regulated like they are... you can walk out w/ a pistol, but have to wait 6+ months for a muffler for it... you have to wait 6+ months on a 14.5" barreled rifle, but a 16", walks right out... as if a suppressed or short barreled firearm is more dangerous... PLEASE!!!
and now your answer is a license... way to give up </div></div>
That has to be the most senseless way to look at something that I have ever seen. What the "license" would do for suppressors is exactly what a carry permit does for guns in NC - serves to replace the need for a NICS check. You do the check ONCE, get a license - tantamount to certification - and go about your merry way ne'er to be concerned with the NICS check again unless your license or "certification" is revoked. What's so hard to understand here? The effect would be that suppressors WOULD be treated as any other firearm purchase. The "license" is in lieu of an on-the-spot NICS check, just as the carry permit does for a gun purchase in states who's carry requirements are deemed sufficient to be used as such.
DUH!
