I'm asked for my paperwork for my SBR and cans each time I go to the range. Now this is indoor ranges in the NE, not outdoor Louisiana ranges so a lot is different.

This is not the first time items have been retro active added to the NFA.

Nor is it the first time for amnesty.

When the 1968 machine gun amnesty was announced in the US, it was treated with widespread suspicion among gun collectors. Some thought it would merely a pretense to find and arrest owners of unregistered machine guns. Others though it was just the first step in a prohibition and confiscation of machine guns. Both of these groups would prove to be wrong, however, and the amnesty was in fact a true amnesty.

quote:
The AFT even admitted they will take enforcement action against those who register (thereby admitting to their felony) and who have background checks that either fail or aren’t completed in the 120 days.

If its denied you are allowed to resubmit it under the amnesty program even if after the 120 day mark as long as you started before it.

quote:
Another thing to consider is that amnesty approvals are getting this caveat that makes people question whether they'll be invalidated if the brace rule is overturned. Which I understand would practically still work, but you'd have submitted all your stuff to the ATF and not even received the benefit of the stamp/stock.

IMO if you want to SBR something anyway I'd probably just go the standard Form 1 route.

This is my view on it. I think they know its likely going to get shot down and now they have a big ol amnesty list of non NFA gun owners to tuck in the file with the NFA gun owners. I am already in the NFA file...I am already wanting to SBR these pistols...so why pay?

I’m curious is anyone here has ever been asked to show their tax stamp by LE or a range master or anyone else

No, as I understand only the Attorney General or an ATF agent has a legal right to see your tax stamp (depending on state laws). Not sure any other LE has a legal right to ask, but if they're asking it's probably in your best interest to provide (assuming you have nothing to hide).

Now, a private range does not have a legal right to see your stamp; however, they have the right to ask you to leave if you don't comply with their rules if asked. Choose to take your business elsewhere.
