Under the ATF's final rule, the ATF is still going to continue to require proof that a valid NFA gun trust exists, i.e., a complete copy of the NFA gun trust. However, the ATF is also going to require proof that each "responsible person" on the NFA gun trust is entitled to possess firearms. Specifically, the ATF's final rule will also require each and every "responsible person" of the NFA gun trust to submit fingerprints and photographs. During the approval process, the ATF will conduct backgrounds checks on each and every "responsible person" of the NFA gun trust.
That’s not even remotely authorized by the statute.
