NEW BATF LAWS for FFLs

  • Just got this from the BATF

    As a result of the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) of 2022, signed into law on June 25, 2022, the NICS Section has been working towards the implementation of an enhanced background check process for persons between the ages of 18-20. The enhancement provides the opportunity for additional outreach and research to be conducted regarding the existence of any juvenile adjudication information and/or mental health prohibition. As a result, transactions on persons between the ages of 18-20 will initially be delayed and the address of the individual will be collected so that the appropriate local and state entities may be contacted. The enhanced process will begin on November 14, 2022, for all transactions on persons under the age of 21 as previously described.Checks on persons under the age of 21 could be extended for a period up to ten business days. Therefore, it is possible for an FFL to be contacted with an updated Brady Transfer Date. As a temporary measure and until the NICS can be updated to provide this information electronically, NICS staff will be calling FFLs to advise of any change in the transfer date. In preparation for calls from NICS, you will be asked to verify your license number and code word. You may wish to have this information readily available for you and your staff.
    All descriptive information, including address, will follow normal purge requirements (i.e., deleted from NICS within 24 hours of the FFL receiving a proceed status.) Please note, if no potentially prohibiting information is located, the transaction will be proceeded as soon as possible.
  • ATTENTION

    Beginning Monday, September 26, 2022, the FBI will be implementing two new features to the NICS transaction process. First, FFLs will be asked to provide the address of the buyer in certain cases. The FBI is required under the NICS Denial Notification Act to notify local law enforcement within 24 hours of a deny decision based on the FFL location and the applicant’s residence, if different. Second, FFLs will see a message from the NICS on attempted purchases for persons under the age of 21 who are buying outside of their home state. This message is meant to assist FFLs in identifying purchase scenarios where attention to varying state laws may be warranted.
 
If selling a firearm to anyone between 18/20 is a problem, easy cure. DON'T SELL TO 18/20 year olds. Don't go looking for problems.
That's like out of state sellers noting "No Sales To California". Don't sell to anyone in California. Some folks don't want to deal with the BS!!

And then it happens to everyone in the country, and there are no buyers left and only law abiding, but "non-compliant" citizens in prisons, because all the criminals have been set free.
 
Not a comment on you as you are correct, I don't know you. Only on the part of the country and the political climate you appear to be from. Correct me if I am wrong.
Have you spent much time in the American West, what you term "your part of the world"?

Born, raised, and grew up in North Central California. Have spent many a day in your area fishing, skiing, camping, hunting, gambling and recreating in general. Still have family and many friends in the area. If you can't see what I am saying, you may not be capable of having a reasonable conversation.

Tell ya what, If you are able to serve in our military, pass a NICs check, then there should be no delay. Our main problem lies with parents and school teachers afraid to say " This kid has a problem. " because they may be fired or labeled. I don't have that problem as an FFL - if I think your nuts, no sale. I have had that happen.
