Knowing how the federal government works, it will probably be a couple months before these new examiners are hired, trained, and become full pledge examiners.
Nice! I'm sure it'll take some time for them to come up to speed and be productive, but I have a bunch of NFA purchases planned for the coming year, so this is good to hear.

Or maybe it is because they are getting ready to reclassify a whole bunch of title one stuff as title 2. The next generation assault weapons ban.

I was at the Small Arms Review show last week and the NFA Branch Chief said that they expected the new examiners to be processing paperwork next Spring.

If that were true they would be hiring nine thousand, not nine considering you are talking tens of millions of weapons.
The nine new Examiners they have announced will, barely if then, get things back to where they were before the hiring freeze prevented them from hiring replacements for those who had quit, transferred or retired.

I don't get the warm and fuzzies from this either. Why would O care about how long NFA approvals take? He can't even pass a budget but he puts the NFA Branch as a priority? I think F&F was a program to make so-called "assault weapons" look bad but it went south after Agent Terry was killed.

Robb,
I doubt if O even knows anything about NFA approvals, that is way down in the weeds for someone at his level. In the grand scheme of the .gov, the NFA branch is gnat shit. It ain't to us but we aren't normal either.
More likely the ATF managers got sick of fielding complaints from Congressional Staffers about the backlog and akward queries as to why they weren't filling funded vacancies. They didn't need to get WH approval to fill existing positions.
9 New Examiners will at best, get them back where they once were manpower-wise.
