Even 90 days is 90 days too long.

The multiple months of processing time is asinine. There's no reason they shouldn't be able to get it down to same-day for folks who submit it properly.

Just more pandering. Everyone knows Biden wouldn't sign it if it did reach his desk.

Would love to see this go through but need air too much to hold my breath.

The long waiting times with NFA apps, especially with form 4s, is a crock. Reality is, they could do it in 30 minutes, if not less. I'm baffled as to why it takes so long to begin with.
Heck, the LE background investigation process I went through for my current job took a couple months and it's more involved than an NFA application etc.
