E-Forms Outage

[smustian]

I think sending that much in for the ATF isnt very business like. Its not cute either. That is going to take a long time to process...Much longer than normal..

So you're going to fault a business for being too successful? All that paperwork is CUSTOMERS paper work for silencers they purchased.

Yep. People trying to beat the deadline for 41F. Not the fault of Silencer Shop.

That's very business like. The cool kids call this phenomenon Capitalism.

That said, I think that Silencershop is the reason why E-form 4's got ditched.

$2 mil is a helluva lot of FTEs.

An ATF buddy of mine told me that they had received over 500,000 applications over the last 6 months......

Maybe they should process and mail in the paperwork as soon as they get it. Why wait? If they need to hire more people, there are people without jobs quite capable of putting paperwork in an envelope and mailing it.
Wasnt trying to upset the forum, just good business to get rid of admin asap.

Being that you are talking about the government, the additional people cannot be fired once the backlog is gone, so what do you do with them? I guess the ATF could be like many agencies where the employees actually do 2 1/2 days of work and collect full pay.

I believe Steve was referring to silencershop hiring more people not the batf smus.

That load of paperwork was probably turned around as quick as silencershop could have done it. Just like you're saying the batf is swamped Steve, so is silencershop.

I heard the same thing from one of my local class III dealers.
