Successful e-file form4?

[SonicKrack]

To the customers/FFLs who already processed Form 4s: Who did you use for EFTs? UPS livescan? Or Printscan?

Does anyone have any idea yet whether this is going to speed up the approval process?

The whole point behind the E-file system is faster turnaround time. ATF mentioned 90 day returned time the first year with faster processing times years to come.

This is the scenario I am concerned about. ATF introduces a stream lined approach that benefits some while making those who applied month earlier using the only available process to wait a much longer period instead of putting the necessary staff onto the task of clearing up the back log. Typical government approach to the task.

It does make one wonder why the e form is so much easier to expedite if both methods of application contain the same details. If it's the fact that e form is electronic, they could hire a couple of flunkys to scan all of the paper applications and now they're electronic format too. Why is it taking a year for paper applications if electronic ones can be completed in weeks?

Man that's gonna be sweet! They must be in desperate need of money. All I know is I need to get into the silencer business if that's for real. Can't even imagine how many people are on the fence who'll pull the trigger on one if they find out it's a few months tops, vs. a few years...

I've asked that same question many times, and nobody really seems to know. It's just sad that republicans had control of the entire federal government for years and couldn't manage to at least make the process reasonable.

Why, when a NICS check takes seconds?

Never, ever forget the HPA, the failure of which affected the way I vote, and will for the foreseeable future.

I've come to the hard conclusion that exercising my right NOT to vote, while I still can, speaks louder than voting for any candidate that either party might put before us. Which is why both parties are so adamant that it's a moral defect to not vote, because without high turnout it delegitimizes the whole process. By shaming us into voting for a preapproved stooge, they strongarm us into giving our consent to be governed by what has become an illegal and illegitimate government.

I bought a suppressor through Silencer Central recently, and had to try to figure out my userID and PIN on the eForms so Silencer Central could fill out and submit the paperwork for me on the eForms. The eForms login was extremely slow to load and wouldn't work right in Google Chrome, so I tried the process on Microsoft Edge. For whatever reason, it worked a lot smoother in Edge than in Chrome. If you are having difficulty in one browser, might try on another. Of course, that doesn't help people actually trying to submit the forms, but at least you can possibly access the forms quicker.
