Videos tagged with Same Day Approval

The ATF has significantly reduced suppressor approval times, with some cases now being approved on the same day. This acceleration is attributed to three key factors: increased political pressure on the ATF due to its politically appointed director, Steve Dettelbach; the activation of a new computer system developed in 2017 that handles 80-90% of application processing; and the abandonment of the 'first-in, first-out' system for application processing, which previously caused delays for all subsequent applicants when one application was delayed. These changes have drastically cut wait times from over a year to mere hours or weeks.

This video from God Family and Guns explains how the ATF has drastically reduced suppressor approval times, potentially enabling same-day acquisition. The speaker, identified as an established firearms commentator, details three key factors contributing to this shift: political pressure on ATF Director Steve Dettelbach, the implementation of an automated 2017 system handling 80-90% of investigations, and a revised queue management strategy that bypasses stalled applications. This represents a significant improvement for firearm owners navigating NFA regulations.
