[Guns America] Get a suppressor in 90 days or fewer!!!
That is the thinking behind Congressman Greg Steube (R-FL-17) new bill, "H.R. 6126 ‐ the End the Normalized Delay of Suppressors (ENDS) Act."
Introduced last month, the ENDS Act would cap suppressor transfer times at 90 days, meaning as long as the prospective purchaser wasn’t denied during the National Firearms Act (NFA) process, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) would have to automatically approve the transfer after 90 days.
No more insane wait times! Currently, some purchasers can wait up to 18 months before getting their can.
"I have personally experienced the unnecessary delay of a suppressor application and as a member of Congress, I have met with many Floridians who have also experienced similar delays," said Congressman Steube in a press release. "A policy of delay, delay, delay is unacceptable and frankly violates the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners."
The bill makes perfect sense and falls in line with existing law. Under the Brady Act, for example, there is a "default to proceed" provision that allows a licensed firearms dealer to complete a gun transfer if the FBI doesn’t complete the buyer’s background check within three business days.
