A 10-fold increase in processing speed? I hope this is true!

If only they'd built out an entire system where Form4s were entered electronically, to begin with.. goodness, I feel like someone could come up with a catchier name than electronic forms... maybe iForms, like apple does? or...

Wow. Weeks not a year! More details from TFB.

I'll believe it when I see it.

How many more Gov functions like this? I know that there are Medicare processes like this for diabetic and nebulizer medications that are billed to Medicare B. Drives me nuts. They should move these drugs from B to Part D, do away with the paperwork that the MD has to fill out and just process like any other Rx.

Since they are already doing it, I assume that means when you do it. Let us know how that goes. Second hand knowledge beats third hand.

Even if this is a workable solution, they will have to clear the backlog which will take a good deal of time anyway.

The American shooting public, thru the US Congress has put in place a series of restrictions on the ATF that specifically bars them from creating and maintaining databases of firearms owners and their transactions.

Those same protections are part of the reason why so much of what ATF does is either on paper or microfilm.
I watched this video presentation showing how traces are done manually..

There is a similar video showing the NFA branch.
