You can be sure that in addition to reduced processing times, ATF is busy in blue cities handing out suppressors to every gang banger they run across. More legal suppressors in the hands of the law abiding is only a bad thing if crimes are being committed with unlawful suppressors.
Don't believe me? It is now unusual for the police to seize a Glock that doesn't have a "switch" installed. How many pictures have you seen of "seizure of an arsenal" that has a Glock with a switch. For a long time ATF didn't even pay attention to the illegal sales of switches being shipped directly from china. You know, unless the person was "suspected of being a domestic terrorist", I mean a white conservative and then they were hit with a raid and probably shot in the face. But the inner cities are overrun with switches because ATF wants them to be. Is there some rule they can do a no knock raid on someone who ordered one in the suburbs but can't seem to locate the addresses in the cities that received them by the gross?
You can be sure at this point they have some college intern sitting in the suppressor office stamping forms as approved without even doing a background check and mailing out stamps to any address that sends a self addressed stamped envelope for one. Hell, if you live in the hood they will probably give you the parts to make a suppressor work on a handgun because that will definitely help to run up the crime rate using suppressors. It wouldn't surprise me at all that the FTB has a hotline for inner city youth to get questions answered about how to screw the suppressors onto their handguns and have them function even with the switch installed.
You can't really regulate something unless there is a problem with it. And when you have received answers from ATF about prohibited persons who received a firearm and were later denied and their response is, "We just don't have time to go look for the guy that was previously convicted of murder who got a gun he shouldn't have but if he comes in on his own can he get his money back from you?" you really begin to understand they aren't there to fix any problems, they are there to cause the problem to get so bad the majority is willing to throw your Right to self defense in the shitter.
Yes, you may get your approval in 4 days, but the goal for them is to see to it that you can no longer possess suppressors.
