General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

no deal
but try this one https://www.atf.gov/file/100896/downloa ... bU5Q9Tagow

yikes, a trust that has 100 names in it, could really be a burden. submitting a form-1 under a trust name, now means all listed on the trust (as defined in the doc) have to submit prints and pics !! what's killing me is, these jokers already have my prints and pics, and all the other info they let get hacked from my eQuip for SSBI-TS ! why would i need to submit prints and pics for every form-1? seems silly.

how does it work for companies? the board members who are responsible for the company have to submit prints and pics?

Got an interesting e-mail from he ATF regarding eforms. The most interesting part was this.

Auto approval – Some forms, like the ATF Forms 2 and 3, if they meet certain pre-determined criteria will be automatically approved by the FEAM system upon submission.

That would be nice if form 3's were approved at the time of submission.

i didnt dig into any loopholes yet, but on some other sites ------------- if your trust is big you just remove everyone except yourself and bene, do your paperwork, it completes, then you put all the folks back onto the trust.

what stupidity they create. nothing but hassles.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question but has anyone figured out exactly how this is going to effect purchasing silencers under an LLC?

In terms of what defines a "responsible person" I mean.

"Responsible Person" has yet to be clearly defined.

In terms of what defines a "responsible person" I mean.
those who have powers to direct the company. as example, when you register the LLC you list those who are responsible for that LLC (directors, board members, etc), the actual terms for those responsible vary from locale to locale but typically defined by the state.

so yeah, kinda a hassle for a LLC who has 5 or 6 directors. for the trust situation you can easily remove members, do the silly paperwork, then add people back onto the trust. not so easy for a LLC,Inc,Co,Org , etc

i think the stupid verbiage should have said "...at least one responsible person..."

and i would not rely on any other 3rd party to follow it and to inform you (certainly not from this site). get your Q's ready, call your local/favorite atf. if they cant define it in a letter to you then you yourself has no reference, thus you cant be breaking the law if you didnt do something they thought you should have, etc. "loophole".

I have seen mentioned in several forums from "NFA TRUST LAWYERS" which doesn't mean alot to me but they say if you change your trust in any way by ,adding any NFA items and including removing or adding members within the 2 year period you have to send pics and prints.So if true then how can removing then re-adding members avoid anything? Apparently it has to do with the Trust changing just like it does when you add a form1.So if you form 1 with everyone on you pic and print or remove everyone, pic and print remaining members then apply your form 1 no pics or prints,then add members back no pics no prints, then in 2 years repeat I am confused why go thru removing members in the first place.

I thought their verbiage said any person with access to use the NFA item? On mobile right now so I can't see it.

its right there in the doc, just as i had already posted.
DOJ has also clarified that the term "responsible person"
for a trust or legal entity includes those persons who have the power and authority to direct the
management and policies of the trust or legal entity to receive, possess, ship, transport, deliver,
transfer, or otherwise dispose of a firearm for, or on behalf of, the trust or entity.

That is what I was referring to:

management and policies of the trust or legal entity to receive, possess, ship, transport, deliver,
transfer, or otherwise dispose of a firearm for, or on behalf of, the trust or entity.
So how people say they have people in their trust that doesn't apply as a responsible person and are not the beneficiary. How so?

ah, i see. you need to study up some on trusts.
but for all intensive purposes if you have a "inter vivos" you name another (alternate trustee) in the event you can no longer manage the trust, thus it is possible to have multiple trustees but only you are in control until you can no longer do it (you and only you fit the DOJ definition, etc). trusts are not simple, set them up wisely. with this new rule i suspect some people will be changing their trust structure.

beneficiaries do not manage the trust, but they could get trustees kicked out if they feel the trustees are not managing the trust properly.

cheers.

I understand that aspect completely. However as people were explaining things, I took it as John Doe creats a trust. Adds Jane doe in so they can also use the NFA items but it's worded as such they they don't meet the responsible person or require fingerprints / photo. I could of read it wrong but that was my take on how others explained it.

If they aren't a responsible person then they don't have access. If that was the case EVERYONE associated with the trust would have to be printed/mugshot.

their verbiage is indeed wacky. trusts can be simple, can also be complicated. a trust that has more than one trustee is where the snafu is. in simple terms, a trust that has multiple trustees usually means each trustee is a responsible party in managing the trust, and its usually defines that actions on the trust by the trustees are defined by unanimous or majority vote. i guess a trust could have a list of alternates so that in essence there is only one responsible trustee with authority at any given time, yet at any time the trustor (who can be a trustee) could change the way it is structured.

that said, what about a LLC that has std structure of Pres, Secretary, and Treasurer where all three are responsible and have authority for the LLC, or a Inc where all of the board members are responsible and have authority?

what about a trust where a bank is the sole trustee, is atf expecting all the responsible parties having authority of the bank to be printed and pic'd? it doesnt make sense from that view.

so, the DOJ definition is clear, just not sure that the numbs who wrote the doc knew what they were writing.
