As a FFL 07, since my inventory and personal firearms are subject to ATF inspection upon demand, along with the absence of Judicial Relief outside the 5th Circuit, I did the eform1 filing for a personal pistol braced AR now deemed a SBR pursuant to the new ATF Rule. All fields were completed as verified by the Green check mark prior to final submission. When I received my interim PDF copy, I saw that the yes/no questions were blank even though I know that I filled them in.
I called ATF NFA and was told that there was a glitch that left certain fields blank on my PDF copy but to rest assured that all the fields were properly completed with the online filing with ATF. The glitch was due to programming errors caused by entering my FFL number that somehow confused the system. So, I relied on that assurance pending final SBR approval.
A couple days ago I received email notification that my eform1 registration was denied because the yes/no questions were blank. I was furious. Long story short, even though I have a control number for my eform1 submission, I was told by ATF that I would have to refile a PAPER submission along with another set of fingerprints and a photo. In other words, start all over again ... with the assurance that I would still be given the tax stamp waiver as well as the marking adoption/waiver.
This could take months or up to a year to rectify. ATF again reiterated that I did everything correctly and that the "systems error" disadvantaged several other FFLs as well. To add insult to injury, I was told to separate the upper and lower as well as disassemble the lower.
I'll eventually self-revoke my FFL so that I won't have to deal with the clown show any longer. Eight years of George W. and two years of Trump resulted in no action to change firearms legislation (NFA/GCA) and ATF rulings. No wonder people believe that it's a Uni-Party, i.e., there are no Democrats or Republicans.
