Yeah, Trump should have cleaned house at the BATFE and made it more friendly to the folks that pay their salaries and benefits. ATF has definitely put the carrot out there and pulled a bait and switch on braces. If a private entity conducted business as the ATF does they would be sued into oblivion.
It's going to be interesting. I read people hooting and hollering they won't comply, but if your choice is a possible felony versus an SBR or new class firearm with no $200 fee what are you going to do. If you already have NFA items your in the data base, if you filled out a 4473 you can be found and if you purchased pistol upper from a dealer there is a transaction record.
I think it is fair to say that if the ATF processed NFA items in 1-2 months instead of a snails pace far more folks would have opted for a SBR instead of a flimsy brace.
