Yep, it's a mess. While on one hand there's that "it's an obvious NFA backdoor", on the other hand, there's the "that the ATF has said actively and passively is totally OK and not really an NFA violation".
They're going to have to rectify that. Meanwhile, there's millions of people affected, and there's no way all of them are going to know their heretofore legal firearm purchased via reputable means, is suddenly an NFA item.
They tried rectifying it in December with "free expedited NFA stamp if you have one and worried that maybe you really are pushing it and it's really an SBR in some eyes (like the one's about to be sworn in, that just won the election)". combined with "and you don't have to actually have the tax stamp, if it's really a pistol and you are using it as a pistol, and we're not going to do some draconian impossible to comply with rule and point list behind that". To which everyone lost their minds. Somehow thinking this wasn't going to get revisited by a much less cooperative admin that had already won the election.
If you didn't see this coming; I don't know what to say.
