So I have a very specific question, not really related to the NFA Trust issue, but to suppressor manufacture. If I want to start a business manufacturing suppressors, for resale, what form or forms do I have to file? The ATF website is not real clear on this (Intentionally?). Best I can tell, its a form 7. But its just not that clear. And as you know, getting somebody on the phone at the ATF takes an act of congress (Irony). I know its a form 1 if I was making one for myself. But the doing it as a business part is not clear. Thank you for what you do, BTW.

@@newbievonnewberson7390There was a fairly sizeable jump in the number of NFA trust transfers starting about 20 years ago, once the internet made it common knowledge that an NFA trust bypassed the (unstatutory, unconstitutional, and now defunct) CLEO signature requirement, allowing people to use the trust process to get around an anti-NFA local CLEO. The explosion in trust filings are *why* ATF first dropped the CLEO signature requirement, and then issued the rule that every trustee has to submit paperwork for every new trust acquisition. With those two changes to the regulations ATF issued, the use of a trust to "make transfers easier" don't make sense anymore. But that doesn't change the fact that a whole butt-ton of folks got trusts *solely* to bypass recalcitrant CLEOs who wouldn't sign off for *any* transfers that wasn't one of their friends.

@@newbievonnewberson7390 Their useful as any "Trust" would be, asset segregation to protect them and granting access to members of the trust. But NFA trusts, before 2016 were a workaround to the LEO sign off issue when filing as individual. After 2016, that became a non-issue and the ATF made adding items to NFA trust more complicated so that ended the workaround. I would say the vast major of people who have SBRs and cans aren't worth the time in setting up a trust. Lastly, some of these $100 one size fit all NFA trust sold online may not be completely legal in your state if it comes under scrutiny, since trusts have to conform to your state laws. So to make sure it's done right you should seek a trust lawyer in your state which is going to cost you way more then $100.

To my knowledge, trusts are still greatly beneficial for allowing other authorized parties legal use of of assets without the main owner having to be present, also automatic transfer of assets if the main owner is killed, or declared unfit to own the assets so they don't go forfeit. There are still good reasons to get a trust, back in the day it was a way around a LEO signature, but 41F killed that.

I have to disagree with you. I’ve had a family gun trust for 10 years. I agree those one shot gun trust are basically worthless. The three reason I got a gun trust is for my son, he is a beneficiary and co trustee. So no form 5 for him when I die. Also if I add a new person to the trust the new person doesn’t have to any ATF background check, paperwork, finger prints, or photos for existing NFA items in the trust. The new person only has to do the paperwork if a new NFA item is added to the trust after the new person is added. Plus my son will be able to add people to the trust after I’m gone and build it for his family. Another reason, all my co-trustees can use all the weapons in my trust without me being with them. My trust will evolve and grow for many generations to come.

@SuperUncleRyan Ай бұрын

I went with a trust because when I started the whole NFA thing, that was basically the only way to do it. That being said, today I bought a suppressor and switched to individual. I am currently waiting on the last suppressor I purchased through my trust, so I will probably get the approval for the latest one before the previous one. Our government makes no sense. I hate the hoops we have to jump through for rights that are not supposed to be infringed upon.

@wesleyroberts7119 Ай бұрын

I have to repecfully disagree with you. Even In this video you seem to contradict yourself. You go through all the reasons why filing as and individual is bassically the same as a trust, form 5 upon death for example. Ok fair enough, but then you go into the flexibility of a trust and how it can do things filing as an individual can't. Isn't that flexibility enough to say trusts are worth it? I went with a trust and have no regrets. Estate planning is easier. You said you don't care what happens when your dead, fair enough, but I actually do care about helping my kids and making that crazy time a little more steamlined. My wife can use my guns, which I've got to be blatently honest, I don't believe you when you said your spouses could be in possession without you around if filed as an individual in your name. Your the only person I've ever heard say that. And I certainly haven't seen official ATF documentation saying that. I don't know maybe it's out there. I would rather not risk it if she actually had to use it in self defense. My kids can also use my NFA items. There are only two upsides with filing as an individual. You don't have to set up a trust (which is really easy) and the CURRENT short wait times. Wait times are fickle. They go up and down all the time. Who says wait times wont drop for trusts soon? Which by the way they have been dropping. Or that individual wait times wont increase? There is no garentee when it comes to the ATF especially with the wait times.

There is actually a documented case of a wife getting in her husband's truck with a suppressor in it that she didn't know was in there. She get in a wreck a few miles from home. In the process of cleaning the truck out before it got towed, the rifle with the suppressor on it was seen by police. Took tens of thousands of dollars, but I THINK they finally beat the charges. It isn't worth it. If you have a spouse, get a trust.

I'll note that, back when the ATF had a *useful* NFA FAQ online, it *specifically and explicitly* stated that NFA regsitrations *did not* fall under "marital property" rules with regard to unsupervised possession - nor could you file a "non-trust" registration as a couple. The only two options were individual registration or corporate registrations. I have *not* seen ATF promulgate any rules that say that an individual regisyration by one spouse automatically confers a safe harbor for the other spouse to possess the registered item without the actual registrant being physically present. *Note:* this is entirely different from the inheritance transfer situation, where the rules have always been that lawful ownership and (provided the heir wasn't legally prohibited from possession) possession automatically transferred by law, with the Form 5 following up to update the registration to the heir.

For most people it really doesn't make sense anymore since a NFA trust is not a workaround like it was in the past. If your answer is you have other people who want access to those items fine that's a use case, but every time you add something to the trust every person in your trust has to fill out paper work and submit finger print cards that makes your package more complicated and takes way longer to approve. Lastly, unless you have "asset" level items like machine guns worth thousands or tens of thousands you need to protected from any civil actions. No one is coming after your SRB or cans that in a lawsuit there's no big money for those items.

What about living in a state that decides to ban NFA items. Almost all bans come with a grandfathering clause to avoid a 'takings' and the state needing to buy all the items they are banning. If you die the items remain in the trust and the people already in the trust get that grandfathering. And depending on how they write the ban it may be still possible to add people to the trust thus continuing to work around the ban in the future.

Clickbait title. First ever downvote for your channel. The comments section and your video are both full of reasons to do a trust. If you prioritize a short wait over the other benefits, go individual, but calling them useless is dumb, and not caring about what happens to your estate when you die is also dumb. I highly suspect, though, that the ATF is intentionally doing individual forms quicker to incentivize people away from trusts. If accurate, that is basically an admission that it's easier for them to do ATF type stuff to you and your dog when you go individual.

The ATF approval and tax for suppressors needs to repealed. Not only are they, in my opinion, unconstitutional but greatly extend the wait time in obtaining them. I setup a NFA trust several years ago for my immediate family for the purpose of obtaining a suppressor. The suppressor was approved. Now 9 months ago I applied to have another suppressor added to this trust and it is in the “delayed” status because of one of my family members. There is absolutely nothing that has changed in the trustee’s status that warrants this. The whole purpose of establishing a trust is that I am up in years and want to make the transfer of these items as simple as possible.

Since atf rule 41f two of the main benefits of using a trust were removed. Those benefits are no cleo signature and no fingerprints/photograph. You no longer need a cleo signature if you buy individually, and everyone on the trust has to submit fingerprints/photograph and fill out form 4473. However, nfa trusts do still have a purpose. The main reason to use a nfa trust for a suppressor is if you want your family members to be able to use your suppressor legally without you by their side. If you buy individually, it is a felony to lend your suppressor to anyone without you present and under your supervision. So moral of the story is before rule 41f buying a suppressor with a nfa trust was a good idea. Now it just adds a lot more paperwork, money, and time to approve to your purchase. The main reason to use one is if you have family members or friends that will use your suppressor without you.

You're not wrong about the limited utility of the trust. I have one that I no longer use, but I'm glad that I got it when I did. When I formed my trust, my sons were in their very early twenties and we all shared our common interest of shooting. They were young and broke. The trust allowed me to buy the items, but my sons could still take them to the range and use them without me as theyvwere trustees. They're older now. When Covid hit, one son wanted to buy a can and place it on the trust. Itvwas clear that they could buy their own stuff now. That fact along with updating prints and pics during covid was a pain in the ass, I deducted that the reason to continue to use our trust had expired. So in my very narrow set of circumstances, I think that my reasoning still holds. I wouldn't blame anyone to do the same today if a trust could accomish it for them.

Is that a misunderstanding?

We use a trust and have multiple NFA items. All trustees are myself, spouse and 4 children and typically when we go shooting it is a family event. I thought one of the benefits was the 200.00 dollar transfer fee. Are you saying they do not have to pay a transfer fee if I had the NFA item only in my name? Because of the quick approval times I am thinking about not using the trust for my next purchase. I am hesitant to do that because it adds another layer of complexity to the items we own and passing instruction to our children for when I am gone. Some NFA items in a trust and others not. Thank you for the video.

I am going to buy as an individual, then transfer to the trust once I have it. Sounds like you get it alot faster as an individual instead of a trust. So at least you'll have it while waiting to transfer it into the trust.

If it’s on a home defense gun, which to me makes sense if your spouse has to fire the weapon inside. Then in that case a trust is absolutely necessary. Correct?

Perhaps you should title the vid "NFA trusts are useless if you have no spouse/significant other and are childless" And yes, "one shot" type trusts are not for your benefit, only the company selling you a suppressor. Given your level of expertise I'm surprised you dont mention the 24 month letter of exception and if/how that affects wait time. Eck-setera, eck-setera.

- So, absent a trust, a spouse would also own the item. Do the children "own" the item, or are they considered minors incapable of legally owning (such) property? I may have just answered my own question.

When all the fast can turnaround times started, I bought 7 cans, all processed as individual. Longest took 3 days, shortest 1 day 14 hours. I spent around $4000. Not chump change, but also not a crazy amount of money when you are talking about a wear item that I should be able to enjoy hopefully for the next 20-30 years. When i die, I had better have set my wife up far better than a couple of measly cans that at that point are probably worth maybe half that if i am lucky. I agree, it just isnt worth it. . .

This is a debate that isn't really necessary. This video was more about calling this commenter out than it was about being beneficial to the community. Here's a suggestion for everyone. Since wait times for individuals is currently so short, purchase and file individually. Acquire as many items as you desire. When you reach a point where you want others to be able to utilize the items without your presence then transfer all items to a NFA trust with those individuals as trustees. Rinse and repeat as deemed appropriate by YOU, the individual with factors generally unique to YOU. This minimizes the hassle of adding items to trusts. If you never intend to let an individual use one of your items without you being present then your need for a trust is minimal, if it even exists.

I go the NFA Trust route for the same reasons already stated in the comments before me .... family, wife, sons, daughters .... and girlfriends who have tattooed my username and avatar on their upper right butt cheeks. But I get it, why some are going the no-Trust route these days. BTW, fwiw, all pf my cans have taken over 200 days, over the years. The first one I filled electronically .... 371 days (just recently and I filed almost the first day eForms were accepted). The second one I filed electronically .... 311 days. I've still got two in jail both filed through eForms. One is up to 112 days and the other is less than 30 days in jail. We shall see how long it takes to get those back. There is simply no rhyme to the reason. The approval times are all over the place under Biden's ATF. I swear it is just wackadoodle .... but I'll continue to put them on Trusts for now.
