ITS A TRAP! (?) Thats interesting. And the fatality isnt to the ruling making it go away, get defeated, etc. The fatal flaw hurts us.
TL;DR(W) You give them proof you already have a SBR according to the new ruling when you submit the details on your Form1 app.
After 88 days, an open (unfinished) background check automatically defaults to a deny.
When you and 4 million of your best friends all submit for the free form 1 to play by the rules, there is no way they can keep up with the load, making checks go beyond 88 days. Instant felons.
And an ATF rep at SHOT said that an enforcement action would be taken. They dont appear to have thought out this process fully.
So maybe its better skipping the free Form 1 and just converting to a rifle or paying the $200 for a SBR that doesnt exist yet?
