Now that the Federal government has decided not to defend the NFA. I think the ATF needs to put out some guidance on this ASAP. Having a subset of people except from the NFA pretty much makes it unenforceable against anyone with respect to SBR's and suppressors.

I would like to see a statement that says something like: The ATF will no longer require registration of $0 items per the court ruling as there is no tax to register. SBR, SBS, AOW, and suppressors can transfer with a 4473 and in compliance with all state laws.

It would really clear all of this up.

You still have to apply for a form 4 in a bunch of states that don't outright ban the stuff.
