I don’t have any NFA weapons, but if you do, you’ll find this interesting:
A gun trust allows a person to register NFA firearms to a trust rather than to his or her name, and the trust can have multiple trustees. The real appeal of a gun trust is that it greatly simplifies the process of registering machine guns, silencers and short-barreled rifles. It bypasses some of the obstacles individuals face like submitting fingerprints, photographs, and, the sometimes difficult task, obtaining the permission and signature of a Chief Law Enforcement Officer. With an established gun trust, you simply submit your paperwork to the ATF.

The new changes will turn the current process on its head. Any new trusts will have to be certified the way individuals are certified, meaning every trustee will have to provide the aforementioned information or, more importantly, every individual will have to get approval from a CLEO and in some areas it just isn’t going to happen.
….
One group that has led opposition is the American Silencer Association. This group of suppressor makers has banded together to make their individual voices heard. They’ve prepared a hybrid form letter that can be downloaded, customized and sent in during the public comment period for ATF 41P. There’s even a Facebook page for Americans Opposed to ATF 41P.

They love “fixing” what isn’t broken.
