Forum Member NFA Wait Times

why does this take so ******* long???

I've asked this hundreds of times and have never gotten a satisfactory answer. Most people claim it's the number of applicants but I can't see that as a factor. When I buy firearms it takes me longer to fill out the paperwork than it does for my background check to be approved. No way are there anywhere near as many people buying cans than firearms. Not even close.
I think the wait time is built in to the program in an effort to deter people from buying suppressors. Would love to hear someone with inside knowledge of the process to weigh in on this.
