Shall Sign Legislation

[DownByTheTracks]

Arizona and Kentucky: shall sign LEGISLATION now in EFFECT

It looks like 5 states have passed legislation that would require CLEOs to sign NFA applications within 15 days unless the applicant is a prohibited person. I think Indiana needs to be state #6!

 

[Trigger Time]

I agree! Force these holdouts that think they are above the law to respect the law or else

And failure to sign would result in...? I read through the bills but couldn't find any sort of repercussions. Maybe I just missed it?

This sort of law would be a great thing to have in principle. In practice, NFA trust creation does a complete end-run around the tyrants and hold-outs.

For now.... If the ATF 41P regulations go into effect, there will be CLEO sign-off for ALL transfers, trust or not.

I am sick of the BATFE. We need to disband it.

Which is precisely why we need "Shall sign" legislation.

I thought the code already said "will", and the problem was that there are no teeth if they decide not to.

What code?

What code?

The one for the secret decoder ring that came in your cereal.

USC, of course. Looking in the text of th NFA, I'm not seeing any language saying that they have to do it, just that it needs to happen.

CLEO sign-off is not in the United States Code (the actual law). CLEO sign-off is in the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). It says that a "Certificate of the local police chief, sheriff..... shall be completed on each copy of the form."

This does not mean "shall" toward the LEO, as in they must do it. The shall is directed toward the applicant meaning that this "shall" be done for the form to be acceptable to the ATF. The "shall" has nothing to do with compelling the LEO to sign anything.
